.

The speck of light visible at the north end of the yard quickly becomes Locomotive 488, a full size steam locomotive. Don't leave the video too soon or you will miss the Speeder with a fire suppression unit following a respectable distance behind. (No Sound Technical Problem)

Sticking its nose past the Tipple, the Speeder and attached fire suppression unit, switches track and moves to its evening berth (No Sound Technical Problem.)

Quiet but not stealthy, Engine 488 slips past the tipple and moves her 9 cars toward the Chama Depot (No Sound - Technical Problem).

Locomotive 488 brings a string of 9 cars into depot along with the clanging of her bell and loud toot of her whistle and then stops. Lots of good color, movement, and train sounds. To hear full fidelity sound, playback on YouTube only . Enjoy. I like this video either full screen or on the YouTube Theater Screen.

The engineer of Locomotive 488 awaits his orders, then blows the signal that he is moving forward, and takes his fleet of 9 cars for a turnaround at the Wye. The sound is good since we are on the Depot camera.

There is no audio if played only at Forum site. However if you click the arrow icon and then click the YouTube icon, you can play above video at full audio from the YouTube website. I cannot explain this anomaly.
