A considerable amount of steel was both removed and replaced.  The nose suffered extensive rust as well as damage from an earlier PRR accident.

Now welded in place, all welds will be ground and reinspected. 

5711s rust is extensive.  The best way is to cut all the rust away and renew.

Number board, headlight, MU hose brackets, collision post all require repair due to rust.
