Here are a few more photos from today Tuesday April 9th and the "shake down" run of 463 to Lava with three coaches. We departed Antonito at 12:40pm on a blustery spring (more winter-like) day with snow, wind and thunder! As Rich Murray mentioned in the earlier post the 463 ran extremely well and everyone was very happy with it's performance!

I agree in that we must really thank Marvin and his crew in Antonito for their efforts and dedication to this project!

Tim: Thanks for the additional photos - looks like a very sucessful run-in - looking forward to hearing the 463 this spring - and riding behind her! Looking at the Lava Tank photo seems the Friends have a bit of work to do - rehanging the spout!
