This morning it looks like 484 is ready to tackle the season. Steaming ready for orders, just waiting for the road crew to take her.

Then goes to take water. Also, it sounds like 484 has a manual bell.

Appears 484 will be doing some switching. Seems like 487's tender was moved yesterday as it is sitting outside the house.
