Should have posted this Sunday of last week, but have just totally forgot. I think the picture says quite a bit. Edit: The sandome has been off for a few weeks now, it was the cab that was removed last week.

Sand dome question: There are 5 ports on the sand dome. Is the 5th port an air intake or is it a sandline going to the trailing truck booster? Thank you for tolerating this non preservation question. Tom P |

Is that rear sander used primarily for back up moves? Can it be independently operated? |

The fifth sander is for back-up moves. I assume it can be used independently. |
