10/25/2021 Start of the long off season

[Jack Spencer]

The morning after the last train sees just one hot engine, 487. 488 is probably inside the west stall. Not sure if 489 is still behind 487 or not, I can't see very clearly.

If you look carefully at the last shot, there is 489.

Now down for a drink at the tank.

After the water stop, 487 is presently simmering outside the roundhouse.

Having grabbed 15, 487 moves it to the south yard.

487 now moves 497 from her summer display area of alongside the roundhouse...

And shoves her into her usual resting place inside the roundhouse.

With 497 put away, 487 shunts 15 again.

Yes, I know 15 could have moved 497 by itself, but to see active steam during off season is much better IMHO!

487 is now back outside the east stall. We'll see if anything else happens or if that's it for the day.
