To me, an interesting set of grabs. Its close to the beginning of preparation time and there is only the 463 visible and it is not showing steam. There is a headlight visible in the west stall and steam in back.

484 was on the East side lead this morning, 489 in front of the shop on the West side. 484 came over and shoved 489 out the back, and it's 484 you see inside the shop now.
