The Covid19 pandemic has Mainers taking precautions as recommended by medical officials. Part of this includes temporarily closing work sessions and visitation at the New England Steam Corp. shops, as well as our co-operative partners at Downeast Scenic Railroad. What hasn't stopped, although closed to outside visitors for the time being, is work on the 470's new tender tank. Millinocket Fabrication and Machine is continuing work, while protecting their employees. Here are three images of the tender as of March 18th. MFM President, Ed Girsa, tells us the major components are just about finished, although the corners of the tank are to be rolled next. From that point forward, it's a matter of assembly. We are very appreciative of this high standard of work ethic and customer satisfaction during this upheaval in our nation's scheduled plans.
