The engine only weighs 14,000lbs. The truss rods need to be adjusted. Our plan is to off load the engine and adjust the truss rods then reload the car. When 6206 is complete the current plan is to load it with a threshing machine to go along with the traction engine. Then we plan to put a load on the White Pass flat that was painted last year along with the one that is scheduled to be painted after 6206 is done. We will then run the mixed freight extra during the Old Threshers reunion for photo opportunities.
