Chama Yard Webcams

[Matthew Bartle]

Surprised by brightness of locomotive headlights as they were getting ready for work this morning.

I recently found this web site. I'll be sure to check it frequently next spring.
It looks good even with snow on the ground.

Hey Jason - the cams are not coming in - last night or this morning. ?????

The hosting company suffered a hardware failure. Should be resolved soon.

I just checked the cameras directly and you're not missing much. It's cold and windy. No steam. No smoke.

Yesterday, mid-day, there was some movement, although not steam powered. The locomotive which has been sitting on the east enginehouse track was pulled out of the way, shunted onto a nearby siding, and another engine, with tender, was pulled out of the east side and pushed into the west side. After that, the first locomotive was shunted back to its earlier location on the east track. The sun was on the wrong side, so I couldn't make out the engine numbers. Aside from that bucket-loader-powered exercise, watching the webcams has been kinda like watching paint dry. Even at that, I still usually take a peek or two. Still one of my favorite places.

As near as I can tell:

488 is outside (again), sans tender.
484 is in now in the right side bay sans, tender, cab, jacket, and appurtenances.
489 is now in the left side bay, intact with tender.
And, 487 is in Antonito along with 19.

So, all that happened yesterday was '84 and '89 switching places in the Engine House.

The hosting company is back online and the cameras are available again.
