Hi John. Session D wasn't the same without you. OB is still sitting right in front of the CRF. All they would say is it would come over sometime in July in order to position it for the Aug 9th mow train. It was "supposed" to have gone on last Sat. train and a few of us were surprised to still see it buried behind the cars from #315's outing. The issue with it being 71,000 pounds means they would probably take a few passenger cars off the regular train to get it over.
My understanding is #19 took 489's tender to Osier. It was then tacked on to the end of the train and was quite the sight. Fresh paint and RG lettering. Nathan got some great shots with his 300mm zoom.
