Anyone capture the movement of the steam engine out of the picture? The engine shop must be full or the south side is!

Tom,
I can't tell for sure but it looks like there may be some smoke from the south side?

I know nothing!!

But I have noticed this: The switch to the engine house is now aligned to the West bay whereas it was previously to the East bay. And the switch at the ash pit is now aligned to the old roundhouse whereas it is routinely kept aligned to the engine house.

So it's easy to imagine the old diesel coming out to shove the steam engine into the engine house west bay then itself being parked in the old round house.

But that's all speculation.

be well,

That makes a lot of sense - they have brought it out again today - it moved over in front of west bay of the engine house and then they shut it down. Hmm

Just fired up the diesel again, 12:50PM MT. Right hand doors of the roundhouse open as well, I think.

And at 1:15PM MT Diesel is now back in the right hand stall of the roundhouse, and the doors are now closed.
