Sunday was "more of the same" in that I spent my afternoon putting a second coat of grey on the roof of the 63. After that, I had a little time and did some parts sorting in the car shop, but that was pretty much my day. Since the 63 looks exactly the same as it did last week unless you look really closely, I didn't take a photo.
But I did take a photo of Charles City Western 300, shown here on the pit, having moved itself here under its own power. This locomotive went out of service in late 2022 when the armature in its air compressor failed, but over the last two weekends the rebuilt armature was installed and successfully tested. The locomotive was over the pit for a regular inspection, after which it will be cleared for service once again. Huzzah!
And in other news, a crew went out again on the line car to do more overhead wire work on the main line. Many thanks to our intrepid freelance photographer Greg Kepka, who sent along a very nice photo essay of the line crew at dusk. The photos show Jimmy and Good Nick up on the 604, with Zach running ComEd 4.
