223 Update, January 16th Worksession: preparation for new work

Preparations are underway to move the running gear into the shop; this required the rearranging of the work area since one half is occupied by the tender and the other half was filled by the pilot, sand dome, and a myriad of disassembled superstructures and parts.


On Saturday, January 16th, the shop was reorganized to clear the space to the left of the tender so that the frame can be moved in once the boiler is pulled off. These pictures were taken by Lee Witten; more can be seen on the 223 Facebook Page. The pilot and other parts were moved to the storage room behind the woodshop in the Trainman's Building.
