UP's steam chief Ed Dickens and several members of the steam team are applying water to an air pipe on the front of the Big Boy. During the maintenance stop, a gasket blew on the main reservoir. The team is going to have to remove the pipe and replace the gasket. In order to remove the defective piece, it needs to be cooled down.
