Steam Shop Views Posted by Robert Kutella in Steam Department at 05:05

Again we are indebted to Roger Kramer for sending these images, taken when he visited the steam shop this week. It is a tough environment to get really good images, but I think you may be interested nevertheless.

428 Wheels

As reported elsewhere, two driver sets have been removed from UP 428 using our drop pit. Here are the guilty parties!

Naked

The locomotive lower portion shows one driver set remaining in this view, and the empty 'pocket' in the frame behind it, with the driver and bearings removed.

Support Equipment

Not all the work is on rail equipment solely, as it takes a lot of tools and other stuff to keep the wheels rolling. The shop crew is doing needed maintenance over the winter on this SULLAIR compressor.

while 428's cab is still on the ground, there could be some premature painting and decals that could go on the outside of the cab

The UP sticker could be for a truck trailer. The headlight is neat. However for the accuracy nut, the plow originally had a style of Pyle [...]
