Wayne Allen and Cory Fothergill worked on correcting more
leaks in the piping on 4268. Air was connected and the brakes applied for the
first time in over 40 years. More copper lines were repaired or replaced with
the dot flex air line. A spitter valve was added to the main reservoir to help
separate any moisture from the air system . Mark Gray worked on reconnecting
wiring around the oil cooler, the fuel pump is now operational, starting
contactors work as intended . Soon the locomotive will be ready to test …
72 had a missing oil line reinstalled on the roots blower and the axles have
been treated to prevent rusting .
