Morning preparations: Starting off with 9 car staged for today's 216 so double header again is that holds.

My streams froze at 9:05 am MDT so nothing beyond what I have already posted. I do know, from watching on my tablet at the coffee shop I go to, that 487 and 488 went out with 9 cars this morning.

I had some significant glitches in the stream as the train came up to and by the tipple which will be apparent in the video once I post it.




After they sent the train around the wye, the 489 switched in south yard for almost 2 hours. The final result of this is probably the student freight for next week. Right now there is an 8 car train staged for tomorrow morning,
