10/6/19 315 on doubled headed 216

[Sharon Evans]

Looks like the 315 is fired up and at the pit now. 484 is at the coal dock, so a double header with the 315?

315 is taking coal at the dock as 484 washes its bunker

Posting this single shot, not going to follow the departure.

Looks like it, Sharon.
My thought is that 315 is effectively subbing for 489 whose flues have pretty much expired. Keeping 488 in Chama and using 315 as helper may help with loco availability for the rest of the season, or maybe 315 will winter in Antonito.

Now that the 315 is active again this season, the dream double header is 315 and 463. They should be able to get 9 cars up the hill.

Here we have what I would call an historic 216 this morning and the cams are acting up.

[Rich Murray]

I thought it was just me.

[Edward Morris]

Here too.
Cams kept reloading, on their own.

[Wade Rogers]

Is the bandwidth getting crowded around departure time?
More folks tuning in at 10am could be the problem.
All I got to see was smoke as the train disappeared into the trees.

[Sharon Evans]

No, I just checked them and it is still doing the same thing.

[Rich Murray]

Now the north cam is off line. I'd bet the problem is with the ISP

CDot cam has a nice plume at Coxo:

Looks like 315 is crossing Hwy 17 after being cut off.

[Larry Gibson]

Ten minutes later 315 appears to be standing East of Hwy

Everything looks fine on the FCTS network. I think this is a problem with the company that hosts the stream and I've got a ticket started with them.
