Yesterday, as shown in the middle picture above, the six wash-rack columns and associated parts were loaded aboard a truck bound for their new home at Exporail, the national railway museum of Canada. In the picture at the right, Dave W. stands at what we expect will become the rear loading entrance to the future museum space in the machine shop.

We will be applying some interpretive text to these plates to explain the history and purpose of the locomotive.
