#489 up and about early, getting ready for the school train for today.

The scoop on 484: Fueling up for today's 216.

The 216 heads east on a beautiful day, and shortly afterwards, a new ramp is built for the RPO.

Wondering where 489 and the students are.

489 and the school train left just after 8am this morning. If I remember the schedule correctly they go to Osier today, come back around the time 215 returns. Tomorrow they will go all the way through to Antonito, then return the next day. I may be wrong on all that so don't hold me to it!!

School train returned at 11:45am

Back from the wye.

Jeff

School train heads to the water tower before heading out again at about 13:00.

The 215 arrives on what looks like a nice evening. I'm always happy to see it arrive a little late. I'm sure those people wish the trip could have gone even longer.

Jeff

As Larry predicted, the Engineer/Fireman school train arrived shortly after the 215. Since the 215 is at the wye, the school train moved off the mainline when she arrived.

Videos of today - weather seemed to be great for all the riders - and students - today.

07/20/15 Engineer/Fireman school train departs early - around 8am.



07/20/15 - Train 216 Departs right on time this morning.

07-20-15 Around 11:45 the school train returned, then turned at the wye - students went for lunch, then back to depart for the 2nd time around 12:45




07-20-15 Train 215 Returns


07-20-15 About 20 minutes after 215 the school train returned for the final time today.


Tomorrow morning should bring another very early departure for the students, as I think they go all the way through to Antonito tomorrow.

This has been a fun day for the webcammers, passengers, and all the lucky people who got schooled today.

Double rainbows over Antonito. Yay.

I love this railroad...and the Friends.
