Thanks for your diligence, Larry. Most of us aren't retired yet and can't watch the cams that closely.

Several minutes later coaches are still in same location. No smoke visible. 11 more minutes and still sitting. Bottom capture after 11 minutes elapsed.

Coaches are still up there as of 10:25, no smoke visible... wondering if #463 is heading back to Chama. Meanwhile, back in Chama, the "Moose" fire truck is parked in the lot by the depot, and #487's cab is getting a thorough pressure washing out behind the engine house. (Time discrepancy? The CDOT cams and forum clock still seem to be showing MST. We're actually now on MDT.)

Hard to see clearly but looks like #19 is moving up to road crossing on the left of picture.
Second capture after 11 minutes shows equipment has moved into pic from left.
Third capture after another refresh shows #19 behind the tree in foreground as a semi load is heading down grade on HWY 17.

#19 is crossing HWY 17 with what looks like equipment on a flat. Flager standing on road.
Second capture has #19 and equipment across HWY17 with coaches.
Third capture has #19 and equipment out of sight. Coaches still on siding.
