Posted: Tue May 14, 2019 6:42 amThe 487 is also inside, so are we really sure its the 463? We know it has to get to Antonito in time for opening day so its a good guess.

Posted: Tue May 14, 2019 12:45 pmI believe that the Santa Fe is the café car for the New Mexico set, with Chama being the Tourist and New Mexico is the parlor.

Posted: Tue May 14, 2019 2:08 pm463 is out in the yard and one of the speeders is filling its water trailer at the pit. There maybe a run east tomorrow. Took on coal at the dock, see if its headed out for a break in run, yeo it is headed out of Chama with the speeder behind.

Posted: Tue May 14, 2019 4:55 pmInteresting... when 463 got back from a jaunt out on the mainline, it was carrying a hefty amount of snow on its pilot beam. Looks like there's more work to be done before the season kicks off.
