A wet/muddy pit might be causing some alignment issues.

Crew members are keeping me updated. Shakedown to Rockwood today. Parked inside the museum tonight.

Friday's schedule;

Look for us on the track between the two tenders. We should be out between 8 and 9am. We should be in front of the station at 10am just after the train leaves. We have 2 runs to event park and then a night shoot.
