This clip taken about 11:30 A.M. Almost action as it happens. The final two days of running the Christmas train will be Saturday and Sunday this week.
Camera action until then will probably be reflecting realignment of cars and the like. Interesting to watch the change in number of viewers at each
camera location. Remember, the numbers reflect users signed into the service and not necessarily viewing, since the video is shut down every 10
minutes 6 times and hour. The summary of users reported changes even though they and you have no active video service.

Action for today so far:
After 15 started up and ran for awhile to warm up, it went over and shoved the 487 into the west stall of the house. It then moved over to the depot and probably air tested the consist for the Christmas train since it sat there for some time and then uncoupled and went back to its parking place.

The speeder that has been sitting on the track by the south tipple cam has taken another trip out onto the main. Maybe one last check of track conditions before the weekend.
