Couple puffs of steam coming from the engine house this morning. Maybe just heat, maybe putting a fire in a locomotive??

I don't know what that it is (A really huge coffee pot?) but it is a pretty regular sight.

Thanks Rich, guess I was just getting my hopes up of some action happening!

I'm betting things stay pretty quiet for a while.

At least we'll have Roger's wildlife photos to keep us entertained. :grin:

and the wildlife in the yard. This morning about 7:00 MT there were a pair of deer just visible in the south camera on the coaling ramp.
And the yard's fox will start to show when the snow is on the ground.

I have a question. Looked in earlier today and put the volume up to max and thought it sounded like machinery running, certainly more than wind to me. Any ideas?

A few autos parked at the depot. Office staff is still active.


Has anyone heard if the RR plans any Santa Trains on the Antonito end this year. Assume none on this end since coaches went east for the winter.
