Well, 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.

[John Hamman]

And at least one of us who usually watches was away at the time - 155 is truly impressive!

For my first contribution, the CDOT Web Cam caught 215 at the wet road crossing this afternoon. Newbie to the board so no idea how to post the picture!

[Jim Jordan]

Thanks Sharon, happy someone qualified caught the web cam picture too!

Thanks Jason, now I need something worthy again!

[Sharon Evans]

Jim, 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.

A little late fun.

[Jason Rose]

Excellent stuff, Blake. How was the trip up?

[Sharon Evans]

Interesting to see that 489 did a light move up to the summit and back.

[Larry Sullivan]

Here'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.
