Right now they are building up the fire in 487 so maybe we will have some action this morning. I do not know if there are ballast stores on Cumbres, but, if so, they could be filling them there for now. Looked in on my tablet several times and not much was happening. They moved at least one locomotive body around using 487 and 15. I will review the recordings and post some stills of that and anything else I see.

When checking the video, the plow is off the 489 so its ready to install on the 488 once it comes over.
