Jim Tomczyk makes sparks fly as the rain falls on March 8, 2008 as he puts the finishing touches on a side bearing plate and plow bolts which will later be attached to the power trucks and allow for Public Service Car 2651 to be lowered and complete the club's bolster and side bearing work.

Time to get things moving!!
On Saturday October 27, 2007 the Phillipsburg Railroad Historians were able to connect the engine house track to the rest of the tracks on the property allowing the Lehigh Valley Chapter NRHS Chestnut Ridge Mack Rail Bus to operate back and fourth over approximately 700 feet of track. This connection and moving the Mack Rail Bus allowed for NJERHS to remove the freight car trucks which 2651 has been on since it arrived in Phillipsburg, NJ in March 2001. With the arrival of power trucks in February of 2006 and some rework the power trucks are now near ready to operate under 2651.
