5/30/2023 463 action

Squeeky is at the pit this morning. If they are servicing her this early, perhaps a run to Antonito is on the cards?

After getting water, 463 went straight into the south yard without getting coal, also a speeder is parked behind the tender so there is a good chance that she will head east.

463 departs just before 8am on her journey to Antonito, probably so she can be in position for when full line operations start in 4 days. I am guessing her tender will also be lettered in that time.

We can now see that they have lit a fire in 484.

I do believe that 463 is slated to pull the opening day through train from Antonito so getting her over there early in the week is good.

So good to see Squeeky back in action. Her sister, #464 is still down.

It appears all that 484 did this afternoon was move 488 inside the house. Not sure which stall, but I'm guessing the west as 489 is inside the east stall.

484 must have also moved that consist that had been used over this past weekend since it is no longer in front of the depot.

484 is at the pit this morning, so I wonder if she will meet 463 at Cumbres and bring the New Mexico consist down from there?
