Great to see it was repaired and back operating today!!

And, the CDOT cam at the pass is working again, too.

463 is out in the yard getting its ashes dumped and probably headed for water and possible coal.

Wow, it really needed its ashes cleaned! Look at the boiler jacket now.

There are a lot of automobiles parked up at Cumbres maybe shooting the Goose.

Videos of the day for July 5th - weather finally seemed good on both ends of the day, not thunder storms for the returning train today.

As Sharon mentioned earlier #463 sure got a good dusting while at the ash pit today, needed a really good cleanout! Sometimes I think we forget the dirty mundane chores of keeping these locomotives running as they do. So today a hearty thank you to all the folks that work to keep this railroad running, especially the shop and engine crews that get down and dirty with their work every day.

07-05-15 Full ash pit cleaning of #463


07-05-15 After work at the ash pit and taking on water, #463 was used to pull #489? out of the shop.

07-05-15 Train 215 behind #488 returns, as #489 starts to show signs of getting hot.


07-05-15 Goose #5 returns about 15 minutes after 215 gets back. After unloading their passengers they parked for the night. Guessing they will head to the wye for transfer to the truck and head home tomorrow.
