Getting ready

[Edwin Frey]

During the course of the day, 488(?) was pulled out of the engine house, with tender attached. The bucket loader carried over four heaping buckets of coal and dumped them in the tender. A bit later, the loco was pushed back into the engine house. So, it looks like at least one of the three is nearly ready to go! I guess we'll know they're getting serious when we see the east side water spout pulled back up on the tank and that motorcar trailer pulled off of the mainline. 484 was pulled out early in the day, and shoved back in late in the afternoon. Still needs its cab, boiler jacket, and "details" re-applied.
