Its not my job to drive the train,
The whistle I can't blow.
It's not my job to tell the train,
How far that it can go.

I can not pull the throttle,
To send it down the track.
But today when it leaves Chama,
I'll be saving from the back

Of the Parlor Car!!!!

The cam feed on my tablet has gone black. Hope it's not an omen of what is happening at home.

The tablet was back up by train time. Cinder Bear was facing the bunk house and Frank was vigorously waving from the back.

Departure of train 216: Even if its Friday the you know what, we lucked out this morning. The north cam froze at 10:07 just as the last cars were rounding the curve. It came back at 10:18 and refroze at 10:30 and was still frozen at that point when I got home. The south cam continued to function the entire time.

I think that they shoved 484 back into the west stall. The 487 is in front of the east stall and 489 is inside that stall.
