The Old Colony & Newport Railway depot was recently damaged by some 'unknown' vehicle that appears to have hit the Southwest corner of the canopy. The result was that the South end of the canopy was knocked off center. In addition, the canopy was pulled away from the depot building. These photos show one of the repairs being made to the canopy by OCNRR volunteers, Everett Stuart and Peter Martin. In this process, the interior wall was opened and a lag bolt that was holding the canopy to the building was found to be inadequately supported by the structure. The lag bolt was removed, a 4x4 cross member was added to the frame, and the lag bolt was reinstalled.
The problem, and the results of this repair, can be seen in the following photos. [click on the first photo and then on the arrows above each photo.]
