So now we wait to see which will plow to Cumbres.

[John Hamman]

I cannot see through the smoke - I just am checking in and cannot tell if 487 has left?

[Jeff Schrimmer]

Is this what I think it is?

[Jason Rose]

Is this what I think it is?

Sure looks like a choo choo to me.

[Sharon Evans]

Must have been a fairly easy run up to summit for the 487. Also looks like coal smoke and steam drifting across 17 on the south cam. Could be plowing out the wye.

487 has returned and look at the snow on the plow.

Any word on the work so far on 488? Havn't heard anything lately.

[Ryan Morris]

The 488, from the recent written write-up from Sam Seiber, should be in service on, or shortly after opening day.

[Edwin Frey]

What up with #484? They must be pretty confident that it will be ready to go with minimum fuss.
