Saturday update - updated!

Many thanks to our intrepid freelance reporter Bill Wulfert, who sends along this update of happenings on Saturday.


CRT 2872 with the end back together, but not yet painted.

The Baldwin motor truck being put back together for use under the 1754. 

One of the motor axles.


The HEP being put back into C&NW 411. Got there too late to get it going in. 


CRT 1808 coming over to Barn 6.


CRT 2888 going to Barn 4 for an evaluation. The "good side" and the "bad side." (Stay tuned for more information on this!)

The Baldwin truck for the 1754 is back together.

IT 415 being sandblasted. (More info on this coming soon too!)

METRA 7658 (ex-C&NW 25) being switched by BN-3 with the other C&NW bi-levels in preparation for the Happy Holiday Railway.

Fox River Electric car 306 with more canvas tacked down.

UPDATE: Thanks too go to Jeron Glander, our fearless freelance photographer, for sending along some additional photos of the 415 from Saturday:




The wrecker sitting next to the 415 was the recipient of this same rented sand blaster's services a month or two ago.

Frank,
It is sad that the #2888 is so far gone, but I hope that at least the primer side can get painted into the MTA colors.
