The new Locomotive Servicing Facility is being put to really good use this winter as the boiler work on Locomotive 40 gets underway, work in preparation for the annual FRA locomotive inspection nears completion and work on Locomotive 1606 progresses. This addition to our shop facilities has greatly enhanced the capabilities of our Engine House crews to get necessary work on the equipment accomplished in a protected environment.

Meanwhile, inside the shop itself, two passenger cars are receiving much needed work. At the south-end,
Great Republic is receiving a restroom upgrade and some steelwork, while in the north bay, the Open Car (
Riverview) is receiving extensive repairs and upgrading.

Once space opens-up, Coach 603 will be in for major restoration work and
Dacosta will be back in to receive its generator, power control systems and air conditioning. All of our space in the shop facility will be fully in use throughout the winter months, as we fulfill our mission to maintain and restore historic railroad equipment.
Much thanks to Bob Wuchert and "The Smokestack" for a thorough update of what's happening behind the scenes!
