489 has been fired up, with 487 still hot as well.

I cannot see through the smoke - I just am checking in and cannot tell if 487 has left?

Must have been a fairly easy run up to summit for the 487. Also looks like coal smoke and steam drifting across 17 on the south cam. Could be plowing out the wye.

Any word on the work so far on 488? Havn't heard anything lately.

The 488, from the recent written write-up from Sam Seiber, should be in service on, or shortly after opening day.

What up with #484? They must be pretty confident that it will be ready to go with minimum fuss.
