Post subject:  Just a weekold update...

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.

1225 has one sander in front of each driver, plus a fifth one behind the main.

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.
