Around the middle of August, there were some bad storms between Adams and St. Paul with heavy damage to the pole lines caused by falling trees. Everyone put in long hours to get the signal system back in service. Hard at work on August 15, 2007 in the Adams area are (left) Brian Millerschoen and (right) Carlton Dawson. Brian is Manager of Signal Maintenance with well over 30 years of service. Being in management did not stop Brian from pitching right in to get the signal system up and running again. Carlton is the Warrens Signal Maintainer and a newer employee. Both photos by Louis Wilson
