ARR 401 Paint and Repairs - Attachment A.pdf

These engineering drawings detail a comprehensive renovation plan for an Alaska Railroad (ARR) passenger train car, specifically ARR 401, involving extensive exterior and interior modifications. The technical drawings, spanning four pages, outline specific repair and replacement procedures for various components including windows, HVAC systems, side sheeting, trim, and exterior markings. Key renovation tasks include removing and replacing lower side sheeting, window air components, metal badges, trainline receptacles, interior paneling, and HVAC covers and curbs. The drawings provide precise technical specifications for each modification, using materials like 12GA ASTM A242/A588 side sheet steel, 3/16" ASTM A606 weathering steel, and include detailed instructions for mounting, welding, and preserving existing structural elements.

The technical specifications include color coding guidelines for trainline receptacles (light blue for power, yellow for locomotive, red for communication), preservation instructions for existing equipment, and precise dimensional requirements for exterior branding and logo placement. The drawings specify that interior components not shown will require disassembly prior to new frame installation, and provide cautionary notes about potential damage during removal processes. Notably, the documentation emphasizes maintaining the original structural integrity while updating critical components, with specific instructions for mounting, welding, and reinstallation of various train car elements.
