So far about the only activity today was this mornings 216 departure - video coming later.

This may have been noted already, but seems a tank car is left at Cumbres.

Looks like a water car in MOW gray sitting up there. Perhaps from the charter.

Track speeder sitting on main near the paint locker. Didn't see any workers present or hot locos at this time. Very quiet!

Looks like the 215 is running on time (clock should read 14:54:11).

I've been out all day. I much appreciate being able to catch up by coming to this forum.

I don't have it recorded but was watching live, I was doing some editing at the time, but the worker sat inside the speeder for a several minutes, then came out and got gas then moved back to the roundhouse area. Also I think the two locos in front were hot all day, 487 had it's pop off valve going quite often earlier, later in the day I think 488 (was that the one behind 487) moved into the left side of the shop. 463 must be inside or out back, hard to tell with the trees in the way of that back shot of the shop.

Overall a very quiet day today after the busy times of the last couple weeks.

The C&TS bus has arrived safely in Antonito - caught on the CDOT cam.

Here's today's videos.
