I don't think he has. There has been mentioned about some water softener system that he is using on one of the support cars. He has also changed the blow down system on the 4014 to match what is on the 844 which was one of the many factors that led to the longest and most expensive boiler wash (screw up cover up) in history. I guess a clean locomotive is more important than anything else.
