Another post crossing category lines, and sorry for the poor photo, but it is what I got.
The motor truck was in fact removed from the 36 and here our crew reassembles and mounts motors and related parts before shipment. Greg Kepka, Joel Arendt, Dan Fenlaciki, Warren Lloyd, Stan Wdowikowski, and Nick Kallas are in this shot.
Other freight department continued with prep work for adding a MILW herald to our URTX 26640 car, and two more windows fitted and ready for gluing for the IC 9792 caboose. AND - thanks to Richard Schauer for invaluable help in removing the east coupler from URTX 26640. Just one of the steps along the way to repairs and completion.

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
