10/22/18 Monday post season

[Sharon Evans]

Starting today I will continue to record, but will review them after I get home to see what activity is worth posting here. Also starting today, I expect the shop crew to move to their winter 4 day, 10 hour schedule so they will be there Monday - Thursday most of the time. We can expect at least one hospital train, the locomotives to go cold and then be separated from their tenders and possible work train activity. The 15 will be getting fired up soon to help with this. One locomotive will keep its tender so it can be used on the Christmas trains in December.

I will be reviewing the days recordings in a bit, from what I see when I got home not much has happened other than it is snowing at the moment. Looks like they moved the speeder parked in front of 15 so it could get out, the locomotives are all still where they were this morning as near as I can tell and are all still simmering.

Reviewed the days recordings and the 2 major things I see, and will post shots later, are the 315 is brought out from the back of the house and 15 grabs it and shoves it into the track next to the round house so it is in front of the 15 looking from the south cam and the Friends crew that is working on those 2 MoW cars continues to do so and repainted the car closest to the cam. The other locomotives came out and do the usual stuff at the pit and tank and when done, 463 is behind 487 on the east lead.

Compare the car's colour now to one earlier, it is a darker red/orange.

I will be reviewing the recording at the end of each day and, if I see something, will post it for that day. If nothing significant happens will just not do a post on that day.
