Here is an unofficial answer.

We keep working on the 1005. As can be seen on the blog "dave" referenced, we are making good progress. At this point many of our tasks are tedious and necessary. (I have spent my last several days working on the car under the car hunting for air lines that need to be secured so they don't clank against each other or the car frame as the car moves down the track and then installing various sorts of pipe clamps. Most require wood spacers, usually with a unique thickness.)

The messenger wire has been installed to the crossing north of Molina.

All of this work requires many patient hours. Help is welcome.
