Well folks, the wait is over. Opening day has finally arrived! With double-headers out of both Chama and Antonito, should be a great way to start the season.

I believe 488 went over the hill the other day, so I'm curious as to the other loco warm in Chama...

484 backs down the main in order to access the coal dock. Then she is filled with coal as 315 is at the tank.

Thanks! I was watching the other day when 484 pulled 489 out, but it was cold and obscured by steam.
