Seeing reports on FB that 4501 is being test-fired today.

Locomotive substitution on that March 29 Attala trip?

It will need a lot longer than a month to be back on the main.

Exactly!!! That is why neither the valves nor the pistons are installed until AFTER the rust & welding crap is COMPLETELY blown out of the dry pipe, throttle, superheaters, and the short steam pipes down to the steam chest area.
