484 is back in Chama after covering for 463 in Antonito while the latter was undergoing a boiler wash. She is the one putting out a lot of smoke this morning, so will probably be the engine for 216 today.

484 does indeed get the call today:

After the excitement of the double header yesterday, today has been fairly quiet. But there is no 4th July bunting or flags to be seen anywhere!!!

487 is out getting ready to take the dinner train up to Cumbres for the 4th and then back to end of track for the town fireworks, guess they are having them.

Here is 487 getting ready. Though you can't see, 15 is also fired up for some reason. I would be very appreciate if someone recorded the 4th July dinner train as it is bedtime for me.
