After operating last week, 1326 was brought back into the shop to continue the work on the brake rigging.
As a part of the work, Gio removed one of the brake rigging arms that attaches the brake shoes on one of the trucks to the piston arm to be repainted

After the reinstallation, new bolts and cotter pins were installed to replace the old ones.

As the final part of putting the brake rigging back together, the slack adjuster needed to be adjusted to keep the appropriate amount of tension on the system.
