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.

Great to see this car being restored. Living in Fla, it's difficult to visit as often as I'd like to. Looking forward to seeing it in IC colors on my [...]

I am a fan of heavyweight like John McLoughlin and Mt Harvard. They only need one color Pullman green! Ted Miles

I saw the IC car today and the paint looks wonderful. The car will stand out in a train once it it ready for service. Great job!

Hi there I just wanted to say I really enjoyed working on this car although you forgot to mention my help on working on it.

My understanding is that when IC painted equipment in the orange and brown that yellow went on firsat as the primer coat followed by orange and brown. [...]

Look great, but you might want to seriously consider getting a pressurized paint pot. These hold 1 to 5 gallons of paint depending on size. This would [...]

From the satellite view on Google maps, that appears to be mostly wooden trestle with one section of iron truss bridge... which by itself is probably [...]

Does that mean that Barn 10 is the designated "Coach Yard"?

That might be a bit too much bridge. Measuring it on Google Maps makes it out to be around 102 feet. Using the same tools, the UP bridge at the river [...]

Hi Matt We estimate the costs for installing 100 amp 240 volt stand by service would be between $2500 to $3000. Our shop is now designated area of [...]

@ Roger, how much would it cost to get this 10oamp 240 service? Because I think that would be a worth-while investment if the museum installed it.
