The Holliday recently underwent an extensive refurbishment at the Hillcrest Shop in Reedley, California. The engine received a new boiler, new plumbing and appliances, and many more improvements and changes. Indeed, she&#8217;s the &#8220;newest&#8221; that she&#8217;s ever been, since 1955 when she was &#8220;actually new&#8221;! This is truly an exciting moment for the engine.<\/p>\n<p>Trivial rumors might also suggest that Pixar&#8217;s CEO John Lasseter had some say in the direction of the refurb, given that he&#8217;s an avid train fan and the Hillcrest Shop did work for him before.<\/p>\n<p>Join me as I survey the engine up close and personal, and talk to the DRR crew. I also make some before-and-after comparisons to get an idea of what kind of work was done on the refurb (&#8230; and it&#8217;s indeed very extensive!)<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NKtwYKqqNxw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>In a later update, I&#8217;ll post a selection of pictures I find interesting.
