I am going to defer to Rick's videos below for the departure. For some reason my recording of the departure has no sound and the volume was up on the cams.

Slow Start To Beautiful Day








Purposely mis-titled this video to get across the point that steam is not visible. So?





A crew of 4 men are working on making improvements to the Ash Pit area. Sharon reported a while back that the State of New Mexico agreed to issue severance tax bonds in the amount of $750,000 for capital improvements on the C&TSR. The railroad has no obligation to pay back these funds unless used for purposes not intended. Guess you might say that some of this tax money may be going down this hole at the Ash Pit.

Suggest you set the quality level to 720P and go full screen to view the work. Then you too can count the number of workers at the site. Also, turn up your sound to hear all the action. The omnidirectional microphone Jason and the crew installed several years ago is working quite well.

If its very quiet in the house I can hear the audio on the feed of the cams, but it's a lot lower then it has been. I have checked various other sites that I listen to and no issues with them.

Which cams are lower? Depot or Tipple?

Jason:
If you listen to the above videos, you'll find that I am able to pick up more than suitable volume. Maybe it is because I am closer to Chama than Sharon.

I am wondering if 315 ran light behind train 215 and at Cumbres picked up the cars which were sitting there. This locomotive is supposed to be coming back to Chama and will be placed on display by the depot like it was last summer.
