9/13/15 A clear, cool Sunday

[Sharon Evans]

A normal 7 car train 216 heads out of Chama with 484 leading.

[Larry Gibson]

A beautiful day to ride on both sides today. 484 draws the duty on 216.

[Sharon Evans]

As we wait for 215 to arrive, 487 has now moved from the left side of the house to in back of right side and 463 is currently sitting up by the tank but not taking water.

[Sharon Evans]

The mystery deepens, 463 just went east and 215 is due in the next few minutes. Will be interesting to see if 463 has gone on a rescue mission. Nope, I now see the students for the advanced school gathered around the tank so maybe a familiarization run out a ways.

[Sharon Evans]

489 brings train 215 into Chama on this bright Sunday. As the school students run out of Chama using 463 and 487 has come back to the front of the house and is having sand added to the dome.

Here's today's video -

09-13-15 Train 216 Departure



09-13-15 463 Moved 487 from the right side shop track to the left - missed some of this as I was doing edits, but love the sound of 463 working.


09-13-15 Train 215 Arrival - also 463's whistle can be heard as she works with the advanced school students.



We may see a fair amount of yard activity tomorrow, based on the description of the advanced school class. Emphasis more on working yard operations rather than just running trains - we'll find out tomorrow.

[Pete Dahlberg]

463 is going to be used for the first couple of days of the advanced class.
Monday is supposed to involve making up a train and then taking it up to Cumbres. There may be some set outs along the way with pickups on the way back.
There is also some talk about making up the strings of cars which will be in the hospital train(s) and/or spotting Friends projects for winter storage.
There is also a possibility of a run Osier
Allthis will be done around the regular runs of 216 and 215
