Southern Pacific 4449 being worked on with what is affectionately known as the ‘blue wrench’. It goes along with another phrase sometimes used in the steel industry, ‘heat and beat to fit’. The blue wrench of course is a cutting torch, which has a blue flame. Once it touches steel … well you can see the result.

Mitchster will be riding on SP 4449 today down to Chicago. Have fun Mitch.
