Team: The really good news is that it is now obvious that the pistons and valves are now free and the engine would have rolled without removing the main and eccentric rods. However, it is better that we move it this way. It is interesting that the engineer's side main crankpin is original with the Baldwin shop numbers on it. The fireman's side main crankpin however, is a real issue. It is obviously off of another engine and was reworked for this locomotive at some time and would need some work to get it to pass FRA today.
