Annual Cream Can Cooker
Tony Avila and Vince Birkle with Cheyenne Maintenance Crew 1035 spearheaded the annual Cream Can Cooker for 70 people in the Cheyenne round house mid-August. The event served lunch to nine crews. “We appreciate what our employees do and like to show them,” said Avila. “In addition, we invite other work groups we share day-to-day business with. We appreciate working with them as well.”
