A new day begins as Friends start working on their various projects, and 487 comes up to the ash pit for her morning cleaning.
487 heads to the water tank to fill up her tender.
A quick blow-down out each side of the locomotive
487 heads past the tipple on her way to the coal dock
Lots of coal dust as the first bucket full is dropped into the tender.
Hostlers job complete, 487 awaits her road crew to put the train together and prepare for departure. The primed RPO shines even in the shade, as work continues on the new paint job.
