Anyone know what locomotive is hot in front of the east stall of the house? Also 15 is sitting on the north yard access track and barely visible past the sanding tower.

484

There also appears to be a loco inside the West stall so maybe 487 returned yesterday and left the coaches at Cumbres for either 488 or 19 to get.

Sharon, it looks like #15 is on the coaling dock lead. Also, am I missing something or is the west side spout missing from the water tank?

It's not just you Steve, it seems to me that the spout is missing as well.

It seems like 488 has arrived in Chama as she is sitting next to 484 outside the house.

With the season over, it makes sense to bring 488 back for service before winter shutdown. One of them will have to return to Antonito after the servicing is done for Christmas trains, if they run.

Sharon, the Christmas trains aren't running this year. I believe 488 has been brought down to Chama because 489 is expected to be completed in time for opening day next year, so she isn't needed there. Though it would make sense to send one to Antonito in case 489 is not ready in time.
