Sharon, I don't know if you noticed when #216 departed the Depot cam and the south tipple cam were recording 7\30\2018 date. However when the North yard cam activated it was recording 6\30\2018. Imagine my surprise when I ran out of the Cafe car into the open gon and started waving. Thanks for the memory as I would rather be in (Heaven on earth) Chama than here at home. Next month it will be the Grand Canyon Railway, the back to the C&TSRR in September.
Catch U on the next wave!

That is a weird time machine moment there. What is strange about this, I record all three cams at the same time and just use Bandicam again to separate them and my video software to put them together, so it had to be the server which did this because my recording of 6/30 would be in my archive file and no where near yesterdays files. Also I do not save the original Bandicam recordings, only my finished video.
