It was noticed during the San Diego and San Bernardino trips this past May that the telltail valve on the tender that allows the crew to see the water level in the tender and the the primary water shut-off valve between the tender and locomotive were tight and harder to open/close then they should be. The summer break has offered the time necessary to finally disassemble these valves and perform long overdue maintenance on them.
In addition, discussions have begun on how best to provide "cover" for the locomotive, not only for protection from the elements, but also for the crew during the hot Southern California summers. More on this topic as it develops.

New Site for 3751 Updates
In an effort to get more information out on the status of 3751 and support equipment, the SBRHS is proud to introduce our new "blog". Updates will be provided on a semi-regular basis to share in what is going on between excursions or events. So check back often to see what new projects are being tackled at Redondo Junction.
