2479 Progress Report - June 16, 2007

Repairs to the Clark forklift have been completed.  The water pump has been rebuilt and installed.  A new seat was acquired, mounting hardware machined and attached.  It has been a number of years since this valuable asset has been fully functional.

The organization's four 35 ton air jacks have been cleaned, lubricated and tested.  These will be used in the near future to lift the locomotive so that the crib supporting the large steel beams which the locomotive rests upon can be replaced.  The present crib is deteriorating.

Cleaning and painting of the locomotive boiler continues.

Documenting the locomotive's jacket is in process.  All of the various jacket pieces have been laid out and measurements taken.  This is the first step in construction of a new jacket.

Weld repairs to the locomotives brake foundation continue.
