Gregg Wolfersheim sends us some more pictures of the exciting progress on the Illinois Terminal 1702:
 |
| A little more progress on the cosmetic restoration of the line car. Both pilots were needle chipped and then primed. |
 |
Two truck frames also got needle chipped and wire wheeled before a coat of primer was applied. |
 |
| The widows and some of the grab irons were masked off. |
 |
The car was moved closer to the roll up door, with a large fan set up in the doorway. I borrowed the steam department's new scissor lift and commenced spraying a final coat of Indian Red.
 | Right after painting.
 | | The next day the black was shot on the trucks, air tanks, valves and pilots. |
|
The number 1 end. The car number will be applied above the door.
 Painting about 95% done. The chains need to be reattached on this side of the car. Next is applying the stencils and painting the lettering and herald. |

Is this a purely cosmetic restoration, or will the car operate,?
