Not much has changed. The 497 is having it's drivers reinstalled and running gear reassembled, and should be ready later this month. The repair of the OU for fire prevention use, not be mention a shortage of enginemen has slowed shopwork down a bit. The 484 will then recieve attention, and hopefully will be back in service before the end of the season. And after that the 488 by next May. Once the railroad opens, shop production is greatly affected by running maintenance needs, and other operating problems.
