For the record, before the guys were able to stabilize the locomotive, they had to pump 189 cubic feet of concrete slurry into the cracks and voids under the engine and tender. Since at the surface, the cracks were between 3" and 6" wide, think of how big they were underground to take that quantity of material.

Lots more to come!
