Do you have a good webcam site for the canal and/or locks ?



Not the Welland, sorry.

They should really stop somewhere along the Welland and change the oil in
those brand new diesels before crossing Ontario. They've easily gotten the
hours on it for that first, important oil change at this point. Even if
they changed the oil before they left, they should do one after this hard
run which will stir up any metal filings left in it from the manufacturer.

Oil change and filters.....every 20 hours for the first 100 is a good idea.

Those bearings are wearing in and contaminating it as they smooth
themselves.
