765 UPDATE

Date 8-22-2022

LAST WEEKENDS SHOP ACTIVITY

This week we fired up the engine on Friday.  Once we had steam up, we tried out the repaired injector and found it to work as before the problem. The engine was serviced, and a trip was run from Angola to Quincy Michigan for the railroad.  Following the trip, the engine was returned to the Hudson shops. The tender wheel swap proved successful with no noise from the tender on that trip.

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES

The engine will be kept hot over this week in preparation for the Members Day and the upcoming Tri-State trips this weekend. I hope to see many of you during this weekends events.

SAFETY SENSE

Stay focused….

Today’s environment is rich with distractions, such as cell phones, text messaging, pagers and adjacent conversations and activities. Many good and/or bad things can, and do, occur around you each and every day, however you must stay focused at the task at hand. Don’t let your emotions or the “security” of the environment or the electronic distractions make you drop your guard when it comes to safety.

SAFETY IS JOB 1

SAFETY FIRST ALWAYS
