This weekend and next, the two A units will be out of service for some shop time. 663 is getting a new air pressure regulator for the control system air, and some window work. 664 is getting some rewiring work done to the fan control cabinet. and the #3 cooling fan will have to be replaced also. I finished the rewire job today, next week we will be the cooling fan and the B unit will get some attention also.
Speaking of the "B" ,,,,,, We have completed all of the traction / high voltage wiring and even did some sheet metal work to the underside of the unit. We also identified a lot of control wire that is not needed and can be removed. That's next weeks work.
This mornings time was takin up by a turntable move as the f's needed to switch direction to make some of our work easer. What did make this a little difficult is the fact that 663 could not move under her own power without control air, and that we had to keep dodging the yard shuttle that loads on the turntable lead. Here's a few shots of that.
