In the relatively quiet morning shadows 487 prepares for today's 216 in the time honored routine. Captures show the carefully orchestrated dance:) 487 all ready to go to work!!! Track speeder has come up with about 30 minutes before departure. Looks like all is set.

487 pulls out on time with a seven car 216. Appears to be many riders on board in the coaches! Great day to ride the RR!!!

Surprising that they turned the 487 right back out and held the 484. Wonder if it has some issues?

A little afternoon action in the yard.

484 goes and gets 463 on the east house lead and pulls it out

Thanks for the coverage today Larry G and Sharon!

I only have the morning video today - still having issues where I lose cams, not sure if it's the flash player or what, will work on it. For now, here's today's 216 with 487 in the lead.
