The 488 is sitting, simmering waiting for the call to head to Antonito for the first time since 2015. Earlier 487 had pulled into the west stall.

Departure of train 216 488 and 8 cars

I was able to get this off of the cams splash screen.

We do not have anything this morning past 488 at the coal dock. The feed to my computer froze at that point.

I have the cams running now on my computer to see if further issues. When I left home they were functioning. All is well so far at 1630 EDT.
