first fire of season

[Claude Wilkerson]

looks like 315 is the first to get a fire in her belly

i wonder what engine is next to fire up

Watching the first locomotive, 315, being filled with coal at the dock for the 2021 season. Wonder if there is going to be a special featuring 315 prior to the official opening of the season. Also the engineer side of the locomotive and tender are still blank so may get the RGS magnetic decals on that side.

Right now a speeder has moved to the north end of North yard and 315 has come out of south yard with a box car and caboose. Is there a move impending???

315 and its little train are now at the depot. Cars dropped and 315 is headed back into South yard.

Pulled 16 cars out of South yard and is now coupling some to the train its building.

Hopefully someone else is watching and maybe taking screen shots, I have to get moving now with my day.

I don't remember if it was on FB or the NGDF, but 315 is being backdated to 425 for this season, hence the reason for the blank sides, and is currently putting together the work train for the upcoming Friends session.

That explains the flat cars on the train.
