Moving 463 - The Trip- From The Locomotive & The Ground

We mounted a camera on 463 for her trip to Antonito. We also had a crew on the ground so the video goes back and forth from the engine to on the ground.

Close enough that I was watching from the ground right under the sign - it missed by at least 3 inches!
