Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 9:06 amWell, the season has been on for 7 days and I finally had time to catch a live departure... with 155 of my friends.
Wow... 155 people watching. Used to be only about 40 or so.

Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 2:17 pmThanks Jason, now I need something worthy again!
Re: 6/2
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 2:22 pmJim, when a shot like that presents itself you have to be quick to post it or someone will beat you to it. 
We should see 215 into Chama by 6 MDT if no issues arise on the trip down the hill.

Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 7:16 pmExcellent stuff, Blake. How was the trip up?
Re: 6/2
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 7:17 pmInteresting to see that 489 did a light move up to the summit and back.
Re: 6/2
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2017 5:09 amHere's the video of train 215 arrival behind 484.
489 has been making several short trips these past few days, they must be trying to work on something on the locomotive. Have to wonder if they are still having issues with lubrication, as that was the reason for all the short trips last year.
