8/4/18 Saturday double header

Morning preparations: To bad we can't see Cumbres spout. Would like to know whether 487 will stop for water on arrival and pull ahead to let 463 at the spout or 463 get the water first and 487 cut off, pull into the clear and let 216 head east then get water and follow.

I expected this since 463 has to get to Antonito for the botany train tomorrow. This will mean 487 will also go through to power tomorrow's 215.

Freezing of feed happened again today but luckily it was just as I got home at 2:20 pm EDT. Literally it was recording when I sat down and froze up shorty thereafter. I have absolutely no clue as to what is causing it since I have tried both Chrome and Foxfire and gotten the same thing. Since I am using a continuous feed the problem could be anywhere from the server that is sending the video out to something at me end. Really need for someone who is using the continuous feed to also see if it freezes on them. I plan to set up my laptop and stream to it also and see what happens. Also wonder if there is another software that I can try to capture the stream.
