487 will not be ready until at least mid-season; 463 is next to 488.

Posted: Sun May 26, 2019 10:46 amJack, if that is 463 in front of the house, when did it get back from Antonito? It went over Thursday with 2 box cars.

Posted: Sun May 26, 2019 11:00 amShe probably did what 315 did a couple of years back. If 488 brought 215 in yesterday, 463 must have followed 215 to Chama. Hope this helps.

Tom, that isn't 215; it is 315 with a special freight that will follow 215 to Chama.
