I started the lettering yesterday and just got finished about an hour ago.
8027 will be picked up here in scenic Kansas on June 6 or 7 and arrive in Como during the week of June 10. I will update the schedule as soon as it is decided.
Thanks to all who helped with this project, including the BNSF, which is covering most of the cost of shipping 8027 to Como.
