And off she goes with a caboose in tow. I'm thinking a shake-down cruise.

After a bit of switching, 488 left Chama with a single caboose. So maybe another ferry move, though it would make no sense if it is just one caboose.

Looks like one of the engines, which I am going to guess is 484, has been moved into the east stall by a loader.

488 is headed to Antonito to power their Christmas train in a week. The Chama one is this weekend. They should have some fun in the higher elevations. 487 should be out anytime now for check runs prior to this weekend's trips.

So I guess I'll stop watching the cams for 488 to return today!
