Double header on the Friday of session E
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 12:12 pmTrain 216 was 9 cars long on the last day of session E and work basically stopped everywhere in the yard to watch this train pull out of Chama with helper 489 and 463 as the road locomotive. I actually was happy that this happened since I was riding 215 from Antonito back to Chama the next day.
There have been question about the 'orange' thing on the railing of the parlor cars. This is a good close up of the water tank attached to the railing.
- 463 pulls out of south yard with 2 extra coaches for train 216.
- Tracy is running 463 as it does its switching for train 216.
- Tracy is now at the front of 463 as he waits for 489 to back down and couple on.
- 489 comes past the tipple as it leads train 216 out of Chama. You can see a number of Friends around the train as it departs.
- 463 is working as it comes past the crowd watching.
- Conductor Ray gives a wave from the platform of parlor car New Mexico.
