Description:  Sorry the pic is blurry. UP 618 is stripped down for her inspection and conversion to oil; with GW 75 next to her awaiting similar work. The shop crew explains that 2,000 more hours of work will be needed for 618, and 6,000 hours for 75. Mind you the Heber Shop runs only with three workers!
