Here's what I found happening on the Riverside RR today:
My BL2 waits on the siding as my F3 #4056, FA2 #6750, and B23-7 #1992 haul a local. Originaly it was just #1992 hauling the freight but apparently it experienced a mechanical failure and was blocking the mainline outside Riverside. #'s 4056 and 6750 were hauling another local 1950 A-A style when they received the call to go pick up #1992 and its freight. Because time was of the esscence, the two A units stayed together and brought in #1992...
..While RS-32 #4242 switched the spare yard. Apparently all the engines were working hard today, save one; Riverside # 1116, which has had a prolonged stay in the sheds due to the restoration projects of #'s 6750 and 1845. However, the guys allowed me to look at their progress at what they've finaly done since painting the engine. They let me take pics, too. Here's the progress so far:
Let me know what you think of my work so far
