IT 1702 Update

Thanks to Gregg Wolfersheim, who passes along this update of his steady progress on IT line car 1702:

The boards for the line car platform got painted last week.

The long board is a stiffener for under the boards. The various pieces are fillers behind the lift post shields.

Most of the platform in place.

Here is one of the copper shields with the 4 filler blocks ready to go together.

The shield applied to the platform. As it is lowered, it will surround the smaller one at the bottom sealing the roof from water getting into the car.

    Once refurbished, any chance 1702 might actually get to work as a line car again?

    T.- That's the plan! CNS&M 604 would then get a much-deserved break, and some shop time.
