The window restoration production line was in full swing today, again. Gwyn Stupar, Fred Zimmerman, and Rich Witt made a lot of progress today. Come on out some Saturday - you can help.
Lorne Tweed had the paintbrush out getting everything ready in the rear of the car interior, to soon hang the first piece of the headlining.
Eric Lorenz began the task of running new wiring in the car ceiling! This is another milestone event, the first new wiring in the carbody. The wire will serve the rear marker lights, the rear stop lights, the backup controller, two ceiling lights, and the roof mounted exhaust fan. So the plan is to run this now, before new headlining makes access here impossible. This is becoming a respectable cable run.
At the rear of the car the bundle is separated to go to each of its end points. I am sure glad Eric knows all this, as I would have a tough time trying to imagine it all.

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?
