[Rick Calkins]

Anxious to see and hear the C&TSR in full operation, and with the primary view of the south yard dormant, I turned to Larry Sullivan's Archive to satisfy my narrow gauge needs. Sharon Evans did not start her 2017 archival postings until May 25, 2017. Larry takes us back to this date, May 16, 2016, two years ago.

Here's a video compilation of the day -- total run time about 15 minutes. Starts with #15 moving #463 inside the shop -- previously (not on video) #15 had pushed #484 out of the shop on the South side. Other work shown is a pickup truck brings in a fire patrol water tank on a trailer, which is put on the rails - then the speeder that has been sitting off rails all winter is put on and attached. Interestingly this tank is not hooked directly to the speeder, but several feet behind connected with maybe 10? feet of steel. After dealing with some wet/snow/hail the water tank that has been next to the roundhouse is moved onto the trailer for removal. The "new" speeder and tank moved off to the wye, after which time I lost the cams so not sure where they are currently located.

Larry, thank you for this fine effort.
