Those wires are all the positive wires. There are 4 of them coming off the main Generator. We had to replace all 4 of them. You can't really tell by the pictures, but there was next to no room to get access to them. The people at the shop didn't even know how we were going to get to them.

It was a fun trip and a great experience.

Glad to hear it all went well Mike....

While you were playing with cables..some of us where in Canada checking out the scene.

So how much OT did you rake in? Hehehehe

I managed to get 21 hours of O.T. Can't wait to see my paycheck this week, lol.

Whoah!!! Where in MN did you end up? Twin Cities, Duluth, St. Cloud, Moorhead, or International Falls? Or am I a long ways off? Those are the only place I can think of in MN that would have a garage for locomotives.

Does this help?, lol

We stayed in Duluth, and the shop was in Proctor.

So what happened to the 13 hr drive? That should have been 26hr OT minimum round trip. Was it closer than expected or did you make full use of that thar Hemi! ?

Well I get paid my regular pay if I am not over my 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. So including driving I worked a total of 61 hours.

Ahh. I get it now.
