The tipple cams are down but the depot cam shows 216 and passengers boarding in distance.

Any special reason for loading so far from the depot?
I was hoping for just a glimpse nearer the camera. bummer

I bet everyone thinks that! (Me especially).
Wade, in response to your question, I believe that when 216 usually pulls into loading position, the two boxcars at the depot are in close contact with the coaches. Moving a bit further forward makes distancing easier. Also to make the queuing system more effective.

If Jack has not gotten this, I recorded the first 215 of the year back into Chama. To me yesterday was a special train and today is the first revenue train. I will get to posting it tomorrow after I vote.

No I didn't record it Sharon. I will be recording 215 on Fridays and Saturdays only. Looking forward to seeing your shots. And yes I agree about yesterday being the first 216 of 2020.
