Causeway erosion repairs ahead of schedule
The area of the causeway surrounding our trolley stop at Kingston Point is receiving erosion repairs under a
Federal Emergency Management Administration grant secured by the City of Kingston.
The Daily Freeman has an August 22 article and video giving project status.
The original article describing the project is

Paint!
One of the museum goals for 2010 is to paint all the outside equipment.
This will improve the appearance of the yard,
not to mention help protect the cars.
Over the past few weeks, the following have had some painting done on them:
9,825,3204,6398.
The painting is by no means complete on these cars, but it is a start!
It takes time and effort to prepare a surface to be painted in addition to the painting itself.

Museum building facade construction starts
In mid-July, work began on the construction of a new facade for the museum building.
The plans also include several improvements to building access and security,
such as new interior and exterior stairs, raised doors and new windows.
The funding for this project is through a grant received from the New York Department of State administered by the
City of Kingston.
We realize you can't see much information from the shrunk-down plan included here,
but you'll be impressed with the uplift in the museum appearance when the project is done
in a few weeks!
Aug 1 Update
A small sample of the brick to be used on the project was installed.
You can see the building's existing grey masonary above the sample.
A play is performed in the R-16 subway car!
A controversial play written in the 1960's and set in a subway car is performed in a subway car at TMNY.
The Dutchman has been staged many times across the country over the years,
but this is believed to be the first time it was performed within an actual subway car.
Museum President Jon McGrew attended the performance and gives his report here.June 2010
