488

[Jim Reynolds]

Does anyone know when 488 will be finished?

[Mike Maguire]

Shortly after it's almost finished ...

[Doug Frederick]

I don't have any specifics, but, it's going together, and going well (I ask once a week). If not ready for opening day, and with no other major crisis, soon thereafter. Things are getting a little tense in the engine house, and, I think they're one guy short, but, no major problems so far.

Have not seen the flat car out lately so wonder if all the parts are off it?

[Doug Frederick]

The flatcar was out yesterday, and seemed to have a fair amount of stuff on it. It's the first time I've seen it this winter, so I can't judge if it was a lot, or a little.

does anybody know what engine is next after 488 is finished

[Rich Murray]

I believe that there no engines requiring a "1472" in the near future.

[Jim Reynolds]

That is correct - I was told the same thing. It will be several years

Thanks Doug!

Back from Durango, hot off the press.

The wheel press, that is, the #3 driver set, which I previously reported being off the 487, is actually the last big piece of the 488.
