The boiler vessel is in the process of undergoing a full ultrasonic inspection to determine the thickness of the metal and ensure that we a proper factor of safety. Before long, we will lift the sand dome off of the locomotive so that we can take readings on that section of the boiler. The firebox interior got this treatment a few years ago and that is how we found the inner side sheets to be thin.
The running gear was recently inspected by a professional contractor.
Please provide the name of the "professional contractor".
