Dennis Slone of the Monticello Railway Museum has been keeping me informed of their restoration of Canadian Pacific snowplow 400654. Recently I received some photos of the current status of that work. I took the first shot below, back in September of 2015. The balance of the photos are from the Dale Jenkins collection. More photos to come.

Here are some additional restoration photos; again from the Dale Jenkins collection. Much rotten wood has been replaced during the project. The inside green color will be the same as shown on the window frames and a slightly lighter green that was on the car when it was in service for the Canadian Pacific. In addition to Dennis Slone, other MRyM members who have worked on the car include Paul Jones, Syl Keller, Dave Marshall and Art Purchase.
