Two locos in front of the engine house - one in steam (#489), the other looks oddly quiet (#484)

Most likely frost - temperature in Chama presently 33F. The CDOT cameras show a beautiful frosty morning in Cumbres.

Here is a view of the scene looking from the depot cam of the idling loco. Storage cars are closed up.

484 turned down the wye, now has headed out with caboose and two gondola, no clue where they are going, but they didn't take on coal today so likely not that far.
