After this flurry of activity, maybe nothing is going to happen. Avery went over and told the guy who was at the coal dock to come back to the house.

Well this is it for me this morning, have to get ready to go to an appointment.

Looks like water standing beside the main by the water tank .... must be spill from #489

Yup it is. Seems whenever they fill on that side we get the stream between the tracks from the overflow.

[Larry Sullivan]

489 now back in the yard after the very short trip out.

And made another short trip out, and now back again. Must be testing something on the locomotive.

[Sharon Evans]

484 also filled on that side this morning.

[Larry Gibson]

Just before noon: 2 locos near depot and 489 leaves the yard.

[John Hamman]

Any clues as to what is up today?

Did 484 go to the south side of the house after the shots above?

At 1413 MDT, 489 headed out of town again.

1422 489 is back again, I don't think he is even going as far as 1st crossing.

1427 The little engine that could is headed out of town again.

[Larry Sullivan]

Sharon - 484 went back out of town with their consist. as 489 got a scoop of coal earlier.

Before getting the coal, 489 was inside the shop for a short time as well.

I seem to recall some talk mid-summer about needing to redo the oil bearings after they were installed. I've heard nothing to confirm that however.

[Sharon Evans]

Wonder when they are going to switch to the 4 day work week for the off season?

[Mike Maguire]

Just realised that #484 has been turned again. Didn't get the chance to look in much so missed all the fun.
