Me too.
The 487 being put on an extension this year, will most certainly be down next season. Of course they will have the 484, and I maybe 488 by September next year probably. I say that the 488 might be done, because the shop guys told me that they ARE making two parts at a time. In other words, when they make driving box pedestal shoes and wedges, they make two sets...
I think they are making fairly good progress. I just wish they had more than, what looked to me like one day a week, where almost all of the crews are in there, working.
