Well we have snow in Chama again and a fox runs through the yard looking for breakfast.

Nice capture Sharon. I've seen that fox 4 or 5 times now, he's got to be living nearby.

Here's a video of this mornings visit.

A few years ago, Roger posted a series of photos of a fox that slept in the sun on top of a boxcar during the day. Wonder if it's the same fox.

15 is out in the yard and has moved a flat car with stuff on it into north yard. Then run around it and is moving it again. Finally shoves it into the right round house stall.

Now come and gets 463 and moves it over in front of the round house.

Final move, 484 is pulled away from the house door and a loader heads into the left stall.

It looks like a lot of scrap.

More than likely you're looking at parts that have been removed from '88 to enable access to the boiler for the 1472 hr inspection
