The first cuts being made to 4590. You can see the trap steps literally hanging off the car. This work was started and able to happen because of a Grant from the National NRHS and donations of steel from Tibbens Steel in Calverton!
You can see how bad the rot was, particularly under the Women's bathroom. To check out more of the work we have done on 4590, click here.
Our collection is now in one place(except C-60). On the left is MP 13456 and on the right is B&M 4590. To learn more about 13456 click here and to learn more bout 4590, click here.

Here are 13388 and 13456 after receiving a coat of paint. We think they look much better now then they did. We left that unpainted patch on 13456 and so that we can measure the size of the logo outline that is still visible.
