15 just started, 489 is steaming as well

As 489 continues to have her fire built up, 15 has been fired up; pulling 489 out from the house most its most likely activity today.

Smoke is still coming from the stack around 9:00. Wonder if 489 will make an appearance today, if 15 moves.

15 has moved to the front of the roundhouse, maybe we will see 489 move under her own power!

19 has moved back into the front of the West engine house door, and the safties have lifted.

Looks like we are ready for the 2019 season. :grin:

Nice to see her outside and under her own power.

I grabbed this image as 489 was leaving the ash pit.
