In May, 1998, Bob Whiticomb, former track foreman and Roadmaster for the Milwaukee Railroad, started rebuilding the mile and a half of track. Original rail was reused, but all four thousand or so ties were replaced with new ones. Widening the curves to accommodate the much larger 1910 Baldwin locomotive was a major problem. Turning the locomotive around at each end of the track was another challenge, solved at last by building two "wyes." All summer a crew of about six men were working daily using methods much the same as a hundred years ago.
