6/7/17 Wednesday

Morning Preparations: 484 is making smoke and steam so probably will get the call today.
The hostlers have an audience of 1 this morning as they clean 484's fire. As I am watching, he seems to be eating his breakfast while sitting there. We will see when 216 leaves, but I think this is the 'waver'.
