Looks like #463 getting hot this morning. I think #488 is still inside, or perhaps in back - not sitting in front for sure.

If that's the 484 sitting outside with the 463, then we may have another DH today with the 84 helping up the hill and 63 as rode engine. Would like to know what is going on with the 88.

I'm guessing it's 484 in front, yes. 488 could have had an issue, but also remember we've had posts that she's running out of time before being due for the big 1472 inspection - could be just going to be used less due to that. I also would not anticipate a DH today.

I do see they picked up an extra coach for today's 216. I would agree if correct, with 487 already in the house undergoing this inspection and work they don't want 2 locomotives down.

We have several rail fans of the 4 legged variety watching 216 depart.

This is a good sign. Hoping to see some smoke from 488 soon.

Yay. 488 is getting hot.

Also, the 215 looks to be running on time.

Locomotive 489 is slowing train 215 as it readies for its stop at Chama.

One I have always wanted to catch, the conductor giving the engine the stop signal at Chama.

by **Jeff Schrimmer** » Wed Jul 15, 2015 4:42 pm

Nice catch, Sharon!

Thanks Jeff

A little late with these today, as I was out most of the day. Looked like a quiet yard day, but 488 was brought back out and steamed up - looks ready for tomorrow's run.

Ugh, it's late and I missed out the live views today. Thanks to EVERYONE for providing me with my "make up lesson" this evening. Greatly appreciated. Larry

Thank you sir! I think it's a great team effort this year to keep track of all the activities, hard to always be around to watch live, it's great to sit down late in the day and catch up with things.
