Morning preparations: We have the botany train coming in from Antonito this afternoon. Further the next Fireman/Engineer school begins today, thought, other than runs light out of the yard, not much happens today that we can see.

Afternoon activities: Just realized that 488 is the only hot locomotive in Chama, so it will be used this afternoon for the students.

: As it passed the north tipple cam you could see it had a little more coal left then most these days, but still fairly empty.; 2018-08-05 The hostlers bring 488 backs on its way to the coal dock.jpg (101.33 KiB) Viewed 2037 times

: They only added several scoops of coal, not a fillup.; 2018-08-05 The loader is adding coal so it will be ready for the students to use.jpg (109.68 KiB) Viewed 2036 times

: 2018-08-05 Its a little hard to see, but I think the students have gathered at 488.jpg (109.41 KiB) Viewed 2024 times
