The smoke from smoldering ashes drifts towards the depot as the loco awaits to couple on for today's 216.
Please check back later for Larry's departure videos.

A few minutes later the "fire patrol" takes care of things as the assembled 216 awaits.

Meanwhile as 216 sits in the depot it's time for a photo and the parlor car platform. Let the fun & "snapping of pictures" begin on this trip!!

I have a good time watching people take photographs of their parties at the parlor railing. You would be amazed, probably NOT, at the number who stand in the shade on the depot side of the train to shoot their pictures with the good, sunny side right there for them to use.

Well the fire control speeder just came back and headed to the wye. Looks like they are not following 215 every day. This was 1310 MDT.

I've noticed this on many days so far this season. Yesterday when he came back he parked the speeder at the ash pit, went and got the bucket loader and cleaned out the pit. Guess it's multi tasking for all these days. Only a couple times I've seen the speeder back after the afternoon 215 arrival.

215 arrives at 4:16 local time as speeders prepare to make a run to Cumbres. About 8 minutes later 484 and train heads for the wye as the speeder trip to Cumbres is underway.
PLEASE check back later for Larry's videos.
