Big Boy runs on steam but rolls on Strasburg Mechanical Services quality. Did you know that we played a big part in the restoration of #4014? All the locomotive wheels came through our shop.

The driving wheels were reconditioned and received new crankpins, tires and eccentric cranks. The lead truck wheels had brand new roller bearings installed and new wheels were installed on a trailing truck wheelset.

When it has to be done right, the big boys call on us!

Not everything in steam restoration is exciting and fun. Yesterday, a team from HSB-Hartford Steam Boiler spent several hours combing through our boiler department records, reviewing our quality control program, and touring our shop. This is all part of the joint review process that happens every three years to renew our ASME and National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors accreditation.

The result: zero implementation deficiencies and a glowing review of our process.

What does that mean? Three more years of building and repairing boilers to the highest industry standards, applying the distinguished "S" and "R" stamps to our work.

What does that mean for our customers? They can be confident that the products coming out of our shop meet the most demanding requirements for quality.

Our team works hard to ensure every job gets done right.

We need to make sure that our Quality Control Manager Nathan R. gets all the credit for making the joint review process go smoothly.

Today, Car 88 the “Marian” rolled out of the shop after 3 months of rehab work. It had been 10 years since this car was painted and it looks as good as ever. Thanks to HotRod Jen and her amazing work striping this car.

88 will be back on the train this weekend.
