On November 3, a major milestone was reached as the locomotive and tender were reconnected. To complete the necessary boiler work, 3751 was separated at the beginning of 2018. By placing the engine on the longest track in the SBRHS compound, the room the tender would normally take up allowed the steam crew the ability to remove and then installation all new tubes and flues. With this major section of the boiler inspection complete, the crew was excited to put these two back together - bringing us one step closer to firing up!
