Its 6:55 MDT in Chama and already busy!!! Within an hour a short school freight train has been assembled. Later members of the FOCTS are in the yard and working on projects as 216 is in pre boarding stage.
Friendly waves as members take time from projects to wave as 216 heads out shortly after 10:00.
Please continue to check back in for updates and Larry's videos throughout the day.

Over on the far left good old 483 is getting some TLC by a group of Friends 
Meanwhile a work party in the north yard appears to be working on a tank car.

488 and the school freight has returned to the depot track. Students and "teachers" check out 488.

A little midday action on Cumbres as CDOT cam shows a track speeder.
Yard cams are down at 2:24 local time.

The whole network is down. Not sure why. Might be a power issue.

Three videos from today -- I won't know what else I have until I get home in the morning. Hopefully the cam outage wasn't for too long.
Just as an added note - cams were down from approx. 2:15pm to 6:30pm due to the issues in the area. When they came back only the normal clean up moves of the evening were seen, so these are the 3 videos from the day.
06-15-15 - Engineer school train departs around 8am with 488 once again tasked as the locomotive for the school trains.
06-15-15 - Train 216 Departure
06-15-15 Engineer/Fireman school train returns around 11:45am.
