Wow, this is fantastic. Seems like she was finished early too. Love that hooter! Reminds me of 463's old, good whistle. Thanks Sharon!

Sharon, 168 has had her tender attached for a while; it was the cab that was recently replaced. That tender is in fact a whole new one as the old has been deemed unusable. Will look forward to when she hopefully double heads with 315, hopefully 463 as well.

Don Atkinson took several shots of 168 as the final installation of the boiler sheathing and air compressor were done.
