11/25 Smoke!

[Edwin Frey]

Smoke is seen from the west stall of the engine house. Who might it be?

Thanks Ed, I thought I saw 'something' but with my eyes I couldn't be sure.
( LOL Now I'll spend a lot of time checking in)

PS: That's a lot more than what I thought I saw. Is lady '87 going to take a bow today?

I think it is 487 Rich, as it seems that she has been in the west stall for the last couple of weeks being reassembled; hopefully it will be the engine always with the plow. I think 488 is inside the east stall unless she has already gone to Antonito.

15 has brought 487's tender from the south side of the house and to the coal dock, so 488 was the engine in steam this morning.

And finally, after nearly a year, the tender is filled with coal.

So 488 should go to Antonito either tomorrow or Wednesday and 487 will be on the Chama Christmas trains after all.

Yesterday a tender was partially coaled up. However I couldn't see what its number was. I guess '88 if the one today is '87's
