Jack D. Kuiphoff	General	A friend, my son, and myself where up there most of this day after spending the night there at the camp ground. We all got signed releases and a tour of the shop by the chief mechanic about 08:30. He told us that they blew the cylinder the day before and shoved it in the shop. They where trying to locate a head elsewhere, but it didn't look promising. We video taped the north bound coming in across the bridge with 3515 & 281. After that, there was nothing else happening. So we headed north and stayed at Escanaba that night. The 469 was our main reason for going there. Glad to here that they got it running again. I just hope it was saved by someone...	8/16/2011 8:09:53 PM

LSRC 469 is the last opperating RS2 in regular service. But its down for the count and is in the soon to be closed Alpena, Mich. shops with a bad cylinder head which the shop forces can't locate.
