Town of Chama is roughly 10 degrees warmer than Antonito.

The cloudy sky has dampened the bright colors of the depot. The tipple is barely visible in the grey light.

My guess is that the water hose shack is painted persimmon.

The speeder in front of the Round House was hidden by the dark shadows cast by the bright sun yesterday.

The house crew has been moving things around with a loader and heavy fork lift the last few days including moving things out of the round house west stall. Wonder if they are making room for 315 in there. They had put so much stuff in there while doing 488's 1472 that 15 had to spend the winter outside last year and yes that included the flat car which had parts on it.

The highlight of this video is a conversation being held by two folks standing in front of the speeder. Kinda nice to have some movement. Sharon was spot on with her comment about cleaning out the west bay of the Round House. The large door is open and nothing is visible inside. A speeder occupies the entrance to the East door.

The lack of bright sunlight has left the view of the South Yard without shadows. Strongly recommend that you set the HD setting to 1080P and select the full screen view.
