Just got back from the restoration today so I'll post a few pics. It's nice to have the locomotive shop open to us on weekends this winter, even with shortened hours we are still making good progress.
I spent the day labeling and terminating the MU wires from the receptacle to the splice blocks mounted above the front door. Normally they are located in the nose, but it's a B-unit so it's a little different. I also rang out all that wire at the bottom of the picture as it was not numbered. It all leads to the main cabinet that is mounted right behind me in this pic. It will get terminated on the splice blocks with the other wire. Others members worked on removing rust and cutting out new sheet metal parts.
Speaking of the main cabinet .....The big cheese of our group, and all things F-3 started removing some of the unused, damaged, or otherwise unneeded wire from terminal boards.
Just a few tracks over GP-9 #514 is having a little maintenance done.
Looks like we will be back there in two weeks to continue working on the B.
