The engine in front of the roundhouse is 425. She is due to move to Antonito this morning, and of course there is the regular 216. Busy day today!

425 moves up to the ashpit. I have wondered about that tender alongside the roundhouse, is that 497's? If so, why was it moved? Would love to know.

She then ran into the north yard to collect the cars she will be taking to Antonito.

484 comes to the pit to prepare for 216 as 425 brings her short train of tankers down the main, and takes on coal with the tankers attached.

425 then proceeds to a very smoky south yard to do some switching.

425 and her little train leave for Antonito, hope she has fun at the Round-Up!

Departure of Train 216: 484 and 8 coaches - a pretty much on time departure this morning.
