Morning preparations:

My stream went down shortly after I left home this morning so we have nothing.

Blank....

Sharon & friends & guests. The track guager was parked at Cresco on the way back down from Osier. The run was smooth both ways. Met a friend who recognized me as the waver in the yard a while ago.
Gotta go. Gotta train to catch. Happily living on Chama time.

Thanks Frank for that update. Can't hurt to verify that track is in gauge after Thursday afternoon.

It is working now so we should have 215's arrival.
