Will check my recordings and see what I can view to post. Right now 15 is sitting outside the west stall of the roundhouse running, but based on the snow on the tracks in front of it, has not moved.

Now has backed into the stall again. The snow is falling so we should have a nice winter wonderland for the Christmas trains this weekend.

I thought the view tonight from the Depot Cam was just too awesome not to share. There is just enough ambient light to keep the camera in day time color mode and to see the smoke (or steam) coming up from the engine house. I just wish I would have been quicker earlier this evening and could have caught a quick screen grab when there was what looked like a gray fox sitting at the top of the ramp next to the depot wall.
