The Last Day in Red Bay (for a few days, at least)

We arrived bright and early.  We thought we would catch the last two stations in Main Assembly (we had been running a couple of hours behind schedule) but they had caught up.

Leaving Main Assembly

Going up on the lift for undercoating

I got to go under the coach at this point and look at the chassis.  Kind of neat and I did get photos of the main mechanical systems if I should ever need them.  Pretty neat seeing all of that hardware from underneath.

Waiting at the Mechanical Shop

After Undercoating, the coach was scheduled for it's visit to the Mechanical Shop.  Mary got her first ride, albeit short, in the coach.  In the Mechanical Shop, the fluids are rechecked, the alignment is checked and adjusted if needed, and the coach is taken on a test drive on it's way to Belmont.
