Electroliner progress

Many thanks to our intrepid freelance photographer Nick Espevik for sending along some update photos from the Electroliner. The news from the "mechanical crew" (not to be confused with the "interior crew" that is hard at work on reassembling the A car interior and reupholstering the seats in the cafe car) is that the electrical connections throughout the train have now been restored. Among other things this means that the lights work again. The weather this weekend is forecast to be frigid, so that may delay slightly the continuing mechanical and electrical work on the train, but the "second shift" regulars are working hard towards the goal of getting the train running again.

So here you can see the lights lit as well as the reupholstered bench seats for the cafe car, currently stowed in the A1 car (or the A car, I don't know which is which!) for safekeeping.
