Wayne Allen, Ryan and Cory Fothergill performed more work on
1741 this weekend. Ryan continued welding in the frame sill and angle-iron for
the battery boxes . Wayne and Cory disassembled power assemblies 5 and 16 due
to low compression. Both pistons had broken rings and the liners were badly
scratched. New liners will be installed, new rings and head assemblies as well.
This will help to improve the oil consumption on the locomotive , and improve
its lifespan. More for another week!
