487 is taking on sand and they are using the "old way" of passing the bags up to the catwalk instead of the sand delivery system. Guess it has not been readied for the year yet.

Looks like today with two engines and OY to coal would have been a good time to demo the tipple!

Especially since the OY will not fit to get to the ramp, they are having to use the low point there, which is a road access crossing, to put coal into the bunker. Was told that another issue with OY is that the loader scoop can't get coal everywhere in the bunker so they have to hand shovel it into the corners after each scoop is dumped.

OK, the 484 has moved up to the 487 now that it also has been coaled up. We should be ready to head out.
