07-28-15 Yard Activities

[Larry Sullivan]

488 started early this morning, moving to latch up to 489 then 463, pulled 463 from the right hand bay of the shop, and 463 now sitting outside. Then 488 headed down with 489 to the water tank. Nice smoke in the cool morning air. Still no sign of 487 coming back out.

A beautiful day to ride and work on projects.

Looks like 463 is back in the house, all I can see now is 489 along with a lot of busy Friends.

[Sharon Evans]

The 463 has emerged again and is currently over on the right side in front of 489.

[Sharon Evans]

The 463 has moved the hot 489 from the right side over to the left side and then gone back to the right.

[Sharon Evans]

The 484 is doing some moving of the Friend's projects.

OK, what did they do with the cars pulled from the north yard, swamp?

Here's today's videos.
07-28-15 Train 216 Departure - lots of Friends around working and waving at the paying customers as they went by. Looks like a decent load for a Tuesday today.



07-28-15 #463 moved #489 from the left side shop track to the right side.

07-28-15 Train 215 Returns as 463 moves over to in front of the left bay of the engine house.



Unfortunately my recordings cut off around 35 minutes after 215 returned - may have been the storms we had here, but I was at work and couldn't be here. I have no answer for you Sharon as to where the cars went to, however my guess is into the swamp with the other passenger box they are working on in there. Perhaps someone local will let us know.

Your guess would be correct Larry, I saw the white primed cars moved over to the 'swamp' in late afternoon. Could it be that is where they will be painted?

Note: Long time viewer but just joined the forum. Thanks to all here that keep us up to date with photos and info on what is happening with day-to-day operations.

Welcome aboard Phil!

Thanks for the confirmation. Yes quite often painting does happen over in the swamp. If you watch the work session posts there are often daily updates as to the activities of each work session, with some photos. viewforum.php?f=3
