As the day's activities begin, I have been listening to the birds singing in Chama.
484 has illuminated its headlight getting ready to come out
At the ash pit 484 gets its fire cleaned in preparation for taking 216 02 east
Normally I do not show the adding of water, but 484 put up such a nice smoke plume I just had to grab it.
484 backs down the main and is covered in ash from the cleaning of its fire.
The front end loader does its thing filling the coal bunker on 484
As 484 backs toward the depot, the Friend's work crew is hard at it on the kitchen storage car
Preparations for today are done. 484 is now coupled to the coaches of 216 02.
