April 24, 2009 Note From the IRMList
July 1st, 2009 Posted in NewsCopied from the IRMList on Yahoo Groups…
Progress in the steam shop:
1630- Bearings for the #5 drivers are nearing completion. The tender leaks, we are trying to fix it. Grates still need to be installed, and hydro test on the boiler needs to be done. There is a SLIM chance we may have 1630 running by July 4th.
Shay #5- tube sheet patch needs to be riveted & welded. We have been unplugging the plugged stay bolts, a few will need to me replaced.
Around the shop, the crane over the wheel lathe is installed but needs power.
Just remember to stop in and have a look the next time you’re out. The shop is usually open on Saturdays.
