Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2015 8:57 amThanks for your diligence, Larry. Most of us aren't retired yet and can't watch the cams that closely.

Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2015 9:28 amCoaches are still up there as of 10:25, no smoke visible... wondering if #463 is heading back to Chama. Meanwhile, back in Chama, the "Moose" fire truck is parked in the lot by the depot, and #487's cab is getting a thorough pressure washing out behind the engine house. (Time discrepancy? The CDOT cams and forum clock still seem to be showing MST. We're actually now on MDT.)

Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2015 9:40 amHard to see clearly but looks like #19 is moving up to road crossing on the left of picture.
Second capture after 11 minutes shows equipment has moved into pic from left.
Third capture after another refresh shows #19 behind the tree in foreground as a semi load is heading down grade on HWY 17.

Second capture has #19 and equipment across HWY17 with coaches.
Third capture has #19 and equipment out of sight. Coaches still on siding.
