According to the C&TS Facebook page, today the plan is to run a double header at the start of the second to last weekend of the season. Brilliant!

484 now comes out to be the helper as 488 is at the tank.

While 488 was waiting to access the coal dock, 484 performed a blow down at the tank. Most unusual...

Departure of a 10 coach Train 216: 484 helper, 488 road loco with both engines steaming well. Well, coach Los Pinos was in the consist so it must have been downgraded to spare coach like Dalton.

Wonder if 489 will bring 215 in this afternoon as the oiling facilities have been installed and she was on 216 on Thursday.
