We will have to wait to see if the hospital train will head east today. An interesting aside on this swap of plow from 489 to 488. I am looking at the picture for November in the Narrow Gauge calendar and it shows 488 sitting in Chama yard in 1963 sporting a plow similar to the one its getting today. Who knows, could be the same one.

So far all is quiet in Chama, so will have to wait to see if the train goes today or Monday. Just got home and will review the recordings but right now it does not appear that anything other than work on 488 has happened today. I doubt they will head back tomorrow but never know.

Review done and nothing. My south cam feed froze at 10:49 am but the north kept going so I was able to see if anything went to the north end of the yard
