Here are the preparations of 484 for today's student freight, last one of the year. Not sure whether they are doing two runs to Cumbres or to Osier.

We will have a double header today with 488 as road engine and 489 as helper.

In an astonishing move, 484 pulls the entire student freight over the pit and to the tank. Then 489 moved out of the way and the freight soon cleared Chama. If the main was clear at the time, why the need for this unusual occurrence?

Added to this, car Sublette, 504 I think, arrived from Antonito just before, so has it too been sold to make way for these new passenger cars?

For some reason, 315 is in steam in front of 15 at the roundhouse.

Then she had a fire clean.

What a treat! An 11 car (plus caboose) 216 behind 488 and 489 departs Chama. The first coach is none other than Sublette, so maybe the earlier move was a positioning one.
