"More of the start to repairs on AMTK #51 in Ft Morgan on 09MAY2025 The locomotive is hooked up to the crane and lifted to allow a dolly to be placed under the sour axle (WAG) and allow the mechanics to continue to ready that to be pulled from under the locomotive. The bearings will be replaced and this WAG will be put back under the engine making it usable. Per the mechanic I chatted with off camera this engine will return via a #6 Zephyr for delivery to Beech Grove back shops for further work.
