Full disclaimer - not on the staff of the EBTF or the Friends, just a volunteer with the Friends of the EBT and fan:
Coach 8 is in the locomotive shop in Rockhill getting work done by Linn Moedinger and the staff with the new East Broad Top Foundation (not at Strasburg). Drivers were just dropped off locomotive 14, and work continues to move forward on locomotive 16 as well. The car that was just repaired by the EBTF was #1036, not 1033, and is now in service on ballast trains on the line along with two other cars.
I recommend if you're looking for updates on the East Broad Top to follow them on their official Facebook page, [
