Work was concluded on the 1741 for this season. The final plates were welded in the nose, door locks added , and front walkway latch was added . The 1741 operated with 573 on the regular mountaineer on Sunday and performed flawlessly. After the trip 1741/573/4266/4268 were all moved to the north yard and dead and drained for winter storage. More work will continue next year including some flooring in the cab, cab interior paint and short nose paint as well. Donations always help keep our projects moving. As we enter the winter season we will work on transportation for some other donations we have obtained.
