6/4/18 A quiet morning in Chama
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:18 amMorning preparations:
Just checked the recording and the locomotive that was in front of the west stall backed through the house and went back far enough to move to the east lead on the south side.
Looks like 484 is about to do the same thing Pete reported on yesterday evening, go through the house and out to the bypass track and come back that way to the west side of the tank. This tells me either there is a problem with the east side spout or a switch out that way. I would opt for a switch or track issue since he could have gone up and back to the west spout otherwise. We need someone on site to let us know what is happening.
