15 has been fired up.

15 then moves into the west stall to pull 463 out.

15 brings 463 out of the house and onto the east lead in order to have her tender removed.

Now finally, she is tenderless.

This leaves 488 as the only engine with her tender left and we should see her go to Antonito later this week.

To add to Jack's post.

The loader is up to the 463 tender as the house crew shovels the remaining coal out

.

With the coal-emptying process complete, 15 shoves 463's tender to the pit, then takes it down to the south yard to be united with 315 and 484's tenders in the tender line.

One thing for sure, they'd better move 484 into the house for some work since she is likely needed for the OY charter. Shame, it always seems to be 484 left outside for most of the winter.

The loader must have pulled it out far enough for the 15 to grab it.

Correct - that is what they did.
