I may be seeing things in the steamy mist, but it looked the like tenders of the 487 and 489 have received a "retro" paint job. Anybody know anything about this? Or, perhaps I need a new monitor.

There's a charter tomorrow and the tenders may well say "Rio Grande" now. Haven't seen one yet to verify.

If your monitor is busted and showing you "retro paint jobs" on the tenders, I'd hang on to that monitor!

Excellent point - perhaps I will catch a few ghost trains passing through on their way to Durango and Alamosa!

John, you are not seeing things. It looks like 487 and 489 have been painted to match 463. They look pretty darn good.

Steve,
Thanks - I hope somebody gets some pictures and video - that will definitely be something to see!

Here is a Ghost Train arriving at Cumbres, some time in the past . . .

Steve,

Great ghost train!!!

Keep them coming.

Steve - shivers all over - actually grinning ear to ear - nice. Guess I better hang on to this monitor. Yea.

Since Spook Night (also known as The Dental Full Employment Event) is coming, I offer this little bon bon . . .
