Elsewhere on the web someone claimed that the tender shown in the roundhouse was 844's. Not so. Per Ed it's 3985's tender and the rust and sediment shown in a previous photo would have been be removed in it's normal annual maintenance cycle. Here is another shot of the 3985's tender from a different angle.
Elsewhere on the web the opinion was posted that the Staybolt cap inspection and replacement was a waste of time. Maybe, but per Ed the goal with 844 (and I guess on 4014 too) was to repair or replace whatever was worn, rusted or broken etc so that this rebuild would last at least another 30 years. I guess this goal applies to items as simple as flexible staybolt caps and seals.
