	Welcome to Albuquerque and the Downtown Rail Runner Station.. The next train is pulling into station.
	Jan 16 and work continues on 489's Tender Tank.
	The side sheets have been added and internal supports are in place.
	The side sheets have been replaced with new metal.
	You can see the tender is becoming whole again!
	Soon we will begin drilling holes for the Very Many rivets that will be placed into the tender.
	Well here is the second tender truck of 489, it has been brought into track 2 for repair and rebuild.
	Anthony is working on removing the bolts that hold the truck together.
	489's truck and Diesel 19 share a track in the shop!
	We are beginning to remove the bent strips of metal that keep the truck together.. we have removed the top plate and can now lift the bolster out.
	The Bolster has been removed as well as the springs, we will have to replace one set of springs as they were broken.
	Now the lower support channel has been removed. All that is left is the Arch Bars, the brake rigging, the journal boxes and the wheels.
	The completely disassembled truck of 489's tender.
