It seems like the backhoe is dropping a few buckets of coal into 487's tender, so maybe two engines in steam soon?

OK, now see the west jack puffing smoke. But there is also smoke coming from the east side. Wouldn't think that the heater would be running today.

15 has been fired up, with an unusual plume of smoke coming out from the house.

Now there is not a hint of smoke visible anywhere, so that enormous plume may suggest that the fire had been dropped. Ah well, at least we got a bit of our gold back.
