Morning preparations and Goose departure: According to the published schedule the Goose is headed to Antonito today and not coming back so guess this year they will load it there.

You can just see the flash of white at the curve, the 484 is at the coal dock and 487 waits on its road crew.

Never mind my previous comments on Goose 5, I just saw that the railroad schedule actually separated the runs in September from the one tomorrow, which is 1 October. We will see the Goose return from Antonito tomorrow afternoon.
