The crew has stopped the EDNM train at Leeds Junction and met a maintainer from Waterville. The old hotbox bearings on the 250 ton crane BM 3366 MW have a bearing or two that ran out of oil. The maintainer is refilling the bearings with oil so they can continue to Waterville undamaged. The crane still runs the old style hotbox wheel bearings and BM/ST/MEC/Pan Am won't spend the money or take the time to update them. This means every time the train stops the crew has to check the oil levels of each wheel bearing.
