Wednesday, Brian and Hannah from Maine Locomotive and Machine were up and removed more superheater flues. These proved difficult to haul out to the pile, so we had to get a little inventive about our strategy. Hand trucks for the win!

The boiler has several studs screwed into it that hold things like the cab mounts, brackets that hold the walkways, air pump and other various appliances. Most, if not all, will require replacement, and it is important that their location, size and purpose be recorded. Leverett, our CMO, has begun the process of numbering, recording and diagramming the studs.
