2156 - no change this week

[NW Mailing List]

Hi Listers:  No progress on 2156 this past week; the NS mechanic was 
taking vacation.
At present, both main rods have been removed from the fireman's (left) 
side; exposed ends
of linkage have been padded and taped.  No start on the engineer's 
(right) side.  And no
word yet on date and routing for the move east.  Will post photos when 
I have the time.

Unrelated info; the MOT has brochure from the "T-1 Trust".  Had not 
heard of this group before;
the document introduces their plan (?) to build and operate an all new 
PRR T-1.  A far reach,
but if the 611 and the Big Boy can operate again, perhaps nothing is 
impossible.  Stay tuned.
