5-18-22 19 Working Yard

[George Stoudenmire]

19 has spotted 489 tender on the fuel track lead behind the RPO car.
19 has headed back down into the yard
Also from the Depot cam you can see that they are doing some work to the North end of the Depot platform.

at 12:00 PM, 19 has shoved the cars that were in front of the Depot North to help with the replacement of the decking on the Depot

Looks like both 19 and 15 are in Chama. 19 could have come over with some passenger cars from the Antonito shops. I also noted the work being done at the north end of the depot platform. Looks like they are extending it.

I think I see 489 outside the house with her tender attached. Bring on the moment of gold, please!
Also, either 487 or 488's tender is sitting on the other side.

Right now there is a loco at the tank taking water. It was squeaky, still has the 455 RGS number and logo.

[Jack Spencer]

It's 463.

Here she is over the pit. She is still masquerading as RGS 455.

After spending a good half-hour at the ash pit, 463 was pushed to just off the switch before the house and is currently sitting there. Maybe for filling the tender with coal?
Confirmed, that is what they are doing. Looks like 463 will be the first engine in steam in Chama this year, unless 484 returns for the Engineer/Fireman schools beforehand. Have no idea where they are starting from this time.
