Thanks Ed, I only dare do this when I am home to monitor what is going on. Which is most days for 215 and Sunday for 216.

Afternoon doings:
2018-07-15 The 463 is on its way to the coal dock with an almost totally empty bunker.jpg
Have to admit, other that the beginning of the season, its rare to see a tender this low.

And #463 didn't stop at the pit on it's way to the tank.................guess there wasn't much ash to clean.

Or Ed, maybe they were so low on coal that the coal dock took priority. They can blow ash later in the afternoon.
