hard to see on depot camera but it looks like they have moved possible 315 out of winter storage

Good Morning Claude,

Did a bit of digging into early captures and am now inclined to think that the dark somewhat amorphous shadow is a coal tender. Maybe not? I have attached three photos showing (1.) Engine 315 parked in front of the Engine House January 11, 2018 at 7:00 A.M. That is the day before the South Camera died. (2.) The South side of the Engine House showing an unobstructed view of the two large door openings which can easily accommodate C&TSR locomotives, picture captured April 19, 2018 at 6:50 P.M. (3.) The same view of the South side of the Engine house as (2.), but with what appears to be a coal tender parked in front of the East door. I had earlier concluded that the coal tender was a locomotive. However, what I initially thought was a smoke stack now appears to be the dog house. This picture was captured April 18, 2018 at 6:50 P.M.

Since the South camera is dead, I can only deduce from these graphics that Locomotive 315 is still parked in front of the East bay of the North entrances to the Engine House. Apologize for being a bit too wordy.

The lettering on 315 coal tender above similar to that parked South of Engine House.
