5.26 Day 2 of 2019 season

[Jack Spencer]

We have an 8 coach consist today so no double header. Either 488 or 489 will be on today's 216 with 484 bringing 215 in. We will also see 315 return from Antonito in the afternoon.

[Jack Spencer]

489 lets off a bit of steam to start the days excitement. Have no idea which loco is behind 488.

[Jack Spencer]

489 comes to the pit to begin her day.

[Jack Spencer]

489 then accesses the tank to have her tank filled.

[Sharon Evans]

487 is sitting next to 488 at the house so tire work must to finished.

[Jack Spencer]

After water, coal is needed so 489 backs down the main to get to the dock.

487 is sitting next to 488 at the house so tire work must to finished.

487 will not be ready until at least mid-season; 463 is next to 488.

Train 216 departure: 489

[Jack Spencer]

488 is having her fire cleaned.

[Tom Smith]

CoDOT caught a rare glimpse of 215 leaving Antonito this morning at about the same time as 216 left Chama.

[Sharon Evans]

Jack, if that is 463 in front of the house, when did it get back from Antonito? It went over Thursday with 2 box cars.

[Jack Spencer]

She probably did what 315 did a couple of years back. If 488 brought 215 in yesterday, 463 must have followed 215 to Chama. Hope this helps.

[Jack Spencer]

CoDOT caught a rare glimpse of 215 leaving Antonito this morning at about the same time as 216 left Chama.

Tom, that isn't 215; it is 315 with a special freight that will follow 215 to Chama.

[Jack Spencer]

Could we have a double header tomorrow????

[Jack Spencer]

The tipple cameras are out.

[Jack Spencer]

Train 215 arrival: 484

[Jack Spencer]

484 and train return from the Wye. Then 484 detached one of the coaches so there will be 7 tomorrow.
