Wab794 Restoration Progress - 2001
|
We moved the Wab under it's own steam for the first time on 1st September 2001 since restoration began, with the Dsa behind for moral support.
The night before we lit a small fire in the firebox so the Wab could warm up slowly over night. The next morning we built up a large fire and the brought the boiler pressure up to 120 PSI. We then started tests on the injectors, which work quite well. We found quite a few minor problems and we are currently repairing those.
