New floor plates were welded in. The floor has been coated in an anti rust coating. New wooden floor to be installed this year once a couple of other minor repairs are completed.

Taking care of the 6069 today is the first step in putting her back in service someday. You guys have made a great effort with locomotives in Ontario. Thank you.
