Looks like we have 487 as the locomotive for today, at the ash pit for morning cleaning.

Here's today's videos -

Train 216 departs just about on time with 487 leading a 7 car train up the hill.



Later in the day, 489 pulls 484 while getting cleaned at the ash pit, then both go down for water, before 484 is shoved back in front of the shop.



215 returns, with 487 turning around again at Osier. Beginning of the video shows our own Sharon Evans waving to the cam as she waits for 215 to come in. A few pics of her chase for today can be found here - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3753
