Over the last three weeks a crew has been cleaning and painting SP1215.  Over 100 person hours have so far been dedicated towards this effort.  To the right is an image of 1215 taken November 2007.  The locomotive did not look good then and had further deteriorated.

Below is an image taken today.

I am not using the terms "before" and "after" as there is still much work remaining. Work on SP1215 will continue over the coming weeks on Tuesdays.

Here's a photo of the SP1215 in San Francisco in the mid 1950s
