Clayton has begun to install the new air lines on the tender frame. Leverett, Clayton, Rob Moore, and Dick reinstalled the emergency air dump valve so Clayton can set up pipe lengths, etc. Dick was then alone for most of the day doing the priming that has to happen on the #1 truck hardware. Roger came in to visit shortly but was unable to spend time with a brush. Dick did get most of the remaining heavy steel brake hangers and such coated.

We need a team of two or three people to primer coat (red) the #1 truck frame and all the coil springs, as well as the spring caps. This is critical to getting the tender frame remounted when the wheel sets are returned. I gave a tour to two railfans from downstate which ate up the final 40 minutes of allotted time for today.
