Weekly Update Posted by Joel Ahrendt in Electric Car Department at 23:04

Comments (0)

Just a quick update on things happening at the Electric Car Shop. In addition to all the normal work being done. (S105, the Michigan car, The PCC, L10). The NSL 160 needed to have a seat cushion repaired, which was done. With the Terror on the Railroad event going on, It was decided to service the batteries on NSL 714. It allowed the battery lights to come on if the pole was lost; also, the vent system would work as well. This is not the only work that's been done, but just some highlights of the work.

Respectfully Submitted,
Joel Ahrendt

Yes, as Mark mentioned it made it into Barn 11 last year to dry out some after finally being unloaded from the flat car.

That car has been moved inside to keep the weather out as windows are repaired. I think it's in a barn that's not open to the public.

Is there any information regarding the status of the ex California Zephyr dome coach. When I was at the museum late last summer I did not see it.
