Thanks to Richard Schauer for sending us another update of progress on Milwaukee 441, the trolley bus that is currently off-site for exterior restoration and repainting.
The progress the shop had hoped to make with 441 didn't quite materialize, but things are still moving along well. The whole bus except the lower front end is now primed. As you can see, the welding-in of the front panel hasn't happened yet. The dark swirl marks on the curb side, they tell me, are from a powder they use to find little craters, bumps, and other imperfections. I hadn't heard of this before, but I guess you learn something every day. The bus also got moved forward about a bus length for the primer spraying.
