That's GREAT news, John -

But I hope you will be getting pre-treated sand and loading it directly into the underground storage container - avoiding the tedious labor described by Rich Braden (Employee2) above, but also enabling the loco's domes to be filled the old-fashioned way.  That would seem quicker - and safer - than hoisting those heavy bags onto the running board and then up to the domes, and probably less expensive if you can get bulk shipments of clean, dry sand instead of the bags.
