Yes Brian, you are correct.

2248 blew her cylinder out around Thanksgiving 08. Repairs on the cylinder were finnaly completed in around March/April of 2010. I saw her around the time 844 came through the area. It was then discovered that her dry pipe, which should have been checked while she was down for the cylinder, was cracked. That would have been only something minor but they decided to check all the parts to make shure they wouldn't skip anything again.

Ed,
Awesome shots! Iv seen a little tiny video clip of her in that dressup, but never actual photographs. Very nice!
