#26 tender is for the most part done! She is on her own trucks and the tank is filled with water for leak checks. The tender has some small parts still needing to be done but will be painted with the engine later this year!

arjay3,
Aren't most of the abestos abatement locomotive completed?
----Work continues in this area. The big engines are in now and new jacketing is being installed.

I think the new cranes are in place?
----Yes and they work great!

Current status of #26?
----Drypipe is nearing completion and the work continues on the one crosshead build up.

Excellent! Thanks, Steve.
