Crane operator Bob Moore, Leverett, Ron, and Dick went to the yard today and put together the #2 tender truck. It was a very long and arduous day, but the truck went together easier than we thought and best of all, rolled very easily! New brake shoes are on order. Bob did all the crane work and polished the axles along with Ron and Leverett. Dick helped some with the assembly process, but spent most of his time away from the camera counting rivets on the old tender body. Yes, there are a lot of them!
