The Dunbar & Wausaukee track repair crew recently spent the day in Coleman after Engineer Ivan Futski reported problems with the #2 switch.  The switch did not have a ground throw or switch machine, requiring it to be spiked into position each time it was lined. This caused numerous problems as Engineer Futski setout and picked up flour and grain hoppers at the Flour Mill on the evening of Jan. 5th

Railroad President CD Heili reports that the track crew did an "excellent job" rebuilding the long neglected Flour Mill tracks in record time. Both the flour loading and grain unloading tracks were completely removed, including 3 switches and the short stub track. The #2 switch was then repaired and a ground throw was installed. A brand new turnout complete with switch machine replaced the old #3 switch on the flour unloading track.The rest of the tracks were then re-installed and straightened.

Hayes bumpers were added to each track to prevent cars from being pushed off the end. A crew member, who wishes to remain anonymous, jokingly referred to them as "Anti-Futski" devices.

"As soon as the damned Electricians show up to complete the job, the rails in the town of Coleman will be better than they've ever been before" quoted President Heili.
