I do not know what the C&TS crew is doing over at the engine house but its LOUD. I would not like to be anywhere near there without ear protection.

Finally caught 215 as it crosses Rt 17 at Cumbres. That bus that you can see was parked waiting for the train. Remember this would be 1450 local.

I think all the real loud noises we've been hearing today are the Friends working on the tipple. Earlier I saw them carry a ladder over, so they may well be working right near where the camera and microphone is. Some pictures of what they are doing have been posted over on the work session E photos area.

Thanks Larry, the more I listened I figured out it was coming for inside the tipple.

Here is 484 arriving today with an 8 car 215.

484 and 215 at the depot Roof tops looked wet. Showers coming in today.

Here's today's videos

After 216 departed, 463 moved to coal dock and took on a load of coal. While that was happening another of the speeders went out on a trailer, and then 463 pulled 489 out of the shop.
