Oct 24th Yard info

One dead loco was pushed back into the rt track of the shop with the front end loader. A hot engine is on the main in front of the passenger cars. Another hot engine is on track 2 or the left shop track.

As a quick edit, I think it ran out on air as it wasn't toed, maybe pushed by the loader but I didn't see that. All of a sudden it appeared!

Maybe the Hospital Train?

Yep, just left.

The locomotive that came out of the engine house was 463. I recall seeing it almost burst out of the building in a cloud of smoke, but it only made it as far as the first switch. Then the front loader came about and pushed it back; there doesn't seem to be any smoke coming from the engine house and there didn't seem to be any prior to 463's appearance. It's hard to say from a distance, but it seems like that machine continues to have more maintenance issues than I'd expect after a rebuilding. But it's old.

be well,

First video is the front end loader pushing back 463 into the engine house - sorry, didn't catch anything before this of the day.



2nd video - departure of 489 with the hospital train. Left a bit long at the end, as you can clearly hear the sound of the train all the way out of the yard, then the final whistle.

[Tom Casper]

some time 463 went to the left shop track and the hot engine went to the right shop track.
