USG 112 suffered a failed main engine bearing last week while bringing a train in about a mile short of Plaster City. Unfortunately, the 111 was in the shop in the middle of a rebuild. Since the rebuilt engine from NRE was already on hand for the 111, USG expedited its reassembly. It should be back in service today or tomorrow. USG usually keeps at least two weeks worth of rock at Plaster City for problems such as this.
