463 is at the pit already. Hospital train today...
I just saw another set of drivers head into the east side of the shop so 488 is making progress on its 1472.

Almost can forget its off season with 463 on the main waiting and 484 simmering at the house.

With this, 463 should be overwintering in Antonito this year so we won't see it again until it brings 215 in on opening day. 487 should bring these cars back sometime in May so they will be positioned for opening day 216.

It is hard to tell on my tablet, but looks like 315 is hot.

Don't think so since 315 was sitting back there and the tender had a meatball.

484 went out back, and is now in front of shop again. Yes I see 315 tender, but that's not where the smoke was from. I reviewed my video to be sure it was 484 that went out back.

Actually on this shot they were wetting down the coal bunker.

Barring more work trains next week, we have probably seen the last train over Cumbres until next year.

Oops, forgot the 315 will go next week.

If I remember correctly, that is where they stored them last winter.

Thursday afternoon and things will be quiet until Monday with the 4 day work week.
All times are UTC - 7 hours
