Looks like 15 has moved 463 locomotive body back to the east side. Will review the video and post shots.

Now whether this is a repositioning move and that's it or them getting ready to light a fire in 487 we will have to wait and see.

489 is under steam and moving about the yard. Will have video and stills once its though since I need Bandicam to process the video I have shot and can't stop it while there is action. Just noticed that 487 is sitting in front of the east stall so maybe 489 has come over with some cars.

Is that a bit of snow on the plow?

So, right now there are no locomotives in Antonito. So one of them will head back east with a hospital train later this week or next. Looked at the video of the arrival, nice train with a flat roof coach, the 3 coaches and snack car from the New Mexico set as well as 2 open gons and the older snack car with a caboose on the rear. Video of the arrival will come once I know 489 is parked. The Chama and New Mexico must still be in Antonito.
