Sierra Ry. 90-3 class Shay is supposed to run tomorrow. She has been out of service for a few years to do some work on the #1 cylinder...of the two piston rings, one was completely missing and the other was broken in 3 pieces. This is why she sounded out of time and ran so poorly.
Anyhow, she should be under steam tomorrow morning & 2-8-0 28 will be fired also as protection power. If the ambient temperature is down low, the 28 may well be used instead of the Shay as she has steam heat for the cars while the Shay does not.
Really glad to see this one back in steam again...a real puller.
