Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:03 amI am also assuming 487 left Antonito this morning, and got out between captures - we'll see if we have an arrival later today.

Hopefully some of our faithful posters will help document the arrival. It's been fun today! The RR is enhanced when the 315 and Geese are on line. Thanks to all of these groups!!

Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2016 9:38 amAn addendum on the 315 move yesterday.
"It was a good trip. No issues with the engine. Due to the number of cars in Antonito we had to turn the train at Lava and back into Antonito."

Posted: Sun Nov 13, 2016 11:03 amThanks for posting this video Larry Sullivan. Engines #315 and #463 certainly have different sounding bells, which I do admire. Almost like a church bell. Love it and all!

Carlos has posted pics on Instagram of them dumping ballast on the new track. Pretty darn close. That is why they had a hot steam [489 IIRC] engine over in Antonito.
