488 is out early at the pit, perhaps we'll have a work train today.

Guys, is it snowing in Chama at the moment?

Must have been a passing flurry since the sun is shinning now as 488 gets coal. Besides the work train thought, could be doing the switching to move the passenger cars around for winter and to get the cars going to Antonito ready to head over there on the hospital train.

Right now, 488 is waiting for the road crew to arrive. I also saw a speeder move out from the house area.

It has been snowing "up the hill" in Cumbres this morning

Both speeders are now out headed to the end of the house lead. Rich seeing snow on all the CDot cams, even Antonito has a dusting. With the speeders getting ready, would say work train since they would not be getting ready if it was just yard switching. Have to go out now so will miss whatever is going to happen.

488 must have taken some passenger cars to Cumbres Pass since there are now less at the depot.

Smoke is coming from the west stall, so is 463 getting hot?

488 is back from its run and has run the wye so given the time, must have left whatever cars it took at Cumbres for maybe 19 to get.
