March 16th Work Session on GP-9 1741

 

Saturday Cory Wayne and Ryan worked on 1741 again. The charging issue involved flashing the auxiliary generator to help it regain a charge. The voltage regulator was also replaced as well . The locomotive is now charging on its own. The unit was tested on the hill within yard limits . We have an occasional ground we are trying to find but otherwise it is operational. Ryan worked again on rebuilding the rear pilot and walkways . Safety covers were reinstalled on the main generator. Traction motors were all inspected and serviced again. More for another week.
