488 is being fueled at the coal dock while Friends are busy getting this week's work session underway.
Later 488 backs down to the coaches while the mountains in the distance hold promise to some amazing scenery.
Larry will have video updates later in the day, so please check back.

I am watching now and the Friends are really swarming over the equipment started last week. I bet having back to back work weeks helps in getting stuff done.

Yes, this is prime time and the weather is cooperating for the outside work.

487 has been undergoing her FRA required 1472 hr inspection and rebuild. She should be out sometime in the near future.

489 brings the 215 into the depot at about 4:19 today, then at 4:29 it's off to the wye. Coaches and loco return at 4:43 so servicing and cleaning activities can begin. 489 is in the shop at 5:12.
Larry's videos should be posted shortly, please check back.

That's OK Sharon, I tried to sharpen and enhance the picture to show the lettering better. Perhaps someone will post a picture at ground level of it on the Work Session D thread section later this week.
