06-20-15 A Sunny Saturday

[Larry Gibson]

After Friday's long day and late extra it looks like things are all set for today's 216 run under a sunny sky.

Please check back throughout the day for updates and Larry's videos.

489 scoots up to the ashpit and tank while 216 is moved to the loading position. Looks like a PERFECT day to ride!

Flat car behind the engine today.

484 pulls 216 out at 10:04 local time. An empty flat car trails the locomotive. Many riders in the windows today with near perfect weather conditions.

A very nice day for a walking tour of the yard.

488 brings in 215 at 4:02 local time under a sunny sky. Riders enjoying the arrival in the open gon.

Coaches head for the wye at 6:14. Looks like everyone is trying to finish up quickly this afternoon. Coaches return about ten minutes later so cleaning activities can start.

After returning the coaches to the cleaning/restocking position 488 makes a switch move on the student train cars and idles.

Around 4:45 488 heads for the ashpit and servicing to conclude a beautiful day on the C&TSRR while passing visitors in the north yard.

Here are today's videos. Also of note is 463 seems to be missing in front of the shop, with the site down for a while this morning I didn't see what happened, but my assumption is they perhaps ran light to Antonito for tomorrow's Geology train -- but that's only a guess - if anyone local knows for sure please let us know.
