487 pulled the 216 away right at 10:00 but came to stop just after running by the watertank for a 3 minute delay. A possible wait to allow a track speeder out? One was still at the ashpit shortly before departure and it looked in the captures that one was still there as the train stopped. Later it's gone.

After 216 departed a large crowd continues to mill around the depot. A sign that something extra is up for today?

Here's today's video recap -- unfortunately I missed out on 216 as there were some net issues here, everything was back in time to catch the charter train however. If anyone knows the details of who chartered this train we'd all love to know!!
09-20-15 463 Prepares for her run with the special train. Some passengers were on board as 463 moves the train from the side track to the main, and the rest boarded from there.
09-20-15 Charter Extra train departs, with a stop for water before heading up the hill.
09-20-15 Train 215 returns with 484 leading.
I'll keep things recording this evening in case of a return of 463.
