The cab and firebox glow in the early morning dark. Its 463, looks like it is headed out with the freight built yesterday.

463 has left Chama with a nice sized freight and it will probably pick up the 5 box cars at Cumbres if they are still there. Will have stills and video of this as I can process it.

Here is 453/463 crossing the Rio Chama. No fancy camera work this time. I was unprepared and ran outside while assembling the camera and pulling on my boots. Just barely made it.

Did you notice that 463 is renumbered for this photo freight? 453 rides the rails this day.

I did notice, but to be honest, I continue to use the locomotives assigned number even when it gets a new number for a special train. I continue to call the 315 the 315 and sometimes reference the 425 number.
