2522 was removed from service today. It had a vibration in the drive train that had gotten much worse over the last 2 days. Shops was initially unable to pinpoint the cause but were concerned enough to pull it from service.
Further inspection found metal shavings and pieces of metal in the rear differential. Shops will explore repair options further tomorrow, but 2522 may be out of service for a few days.
Meanwhile 2521 has been brought up from Station 25A and the Jaws, stabilizers and some cribbing have been placed into 2561 for response.
Lt. Gascoigne
