Check back later today for Larry's video updates. Two consecutive doubleheaders on the 216!!! Locos drawing a crowd!!! Looks like a much nicer day to ride and take photos than yesterday.

As the train went by the north coal tipple cam someone on the coaches was waving his hat frantically. Guess he told someone to be watching for him.

The CDot cam on Cumbres caught the back end of 215 today running about 25 minutes late. The bus has been parked there for at least 30 minutes.

Don't know what is going on, but a light engine just went east. Just realized that this and next week are school weeks. Now I know why so many people hanging around in bib overalls.

Appears to have been the newest class for the Engineer/Fireman school doing their short familiarization runs. Should see the school trains starting tomorrow.

Here's today's videos

09-06-15 Doubleheader departure - very full trains this weekend on both days. Let's hope this continues as the fall progresses.



09-06-15 Train 215 Returns - 487 awaits on the runby track as 463 brings the train in. New Engineer/Fireman school starting today.

How appropriate that an Engineer School starts again around Labor Day!

Here is the screen grab of the 463 getting the 10 car 215 home.
