9/21/16 A post shot day in Chama

[Sharon Evans]

The depot looks a little bare without the cars in front and no light poles. If they wait to replace the storage cars, we will have a great view of 216 and its departure this morning.

[James Hook]

is it just me or does 484 have a different whistle sound today?

btw, sorry for the long absence I had for a while. I have been doing Pokémon stuff lately

[Sharon Evans]

484 was given a Western Pacific whistle some time ago.

[Jeff Schrimmer]

The helper is back.

I watched the Cumbres cam for awhile after 216 left Chama and it looked like they had traffic stopped as they were paving 17, then letting cars through every so often. If this is really what was happening, than we had some ticked off chasers.

[Sharon Evans]

Arrival of train 215: 487 and 10 cars, The movie coach came back on 215 so must have turned it at Osier
Currently Cumbres is socked in the clouds.

It is hard to discern but we got 215 crossing 17.
