Mike thanks for the captures -- they did the same on Wednesday and headed out to the bridge after getting some supplies (I assume the bridge).

I just got home from work, and wasn't recording today, but #15 is idling away now - not sure when she was started up.

"Mike thanks for the captures -- they did the same on Wednesday and headed out to the bridge after getting some supplies (I assume the bridge)."

It's serendipity Larry - most times I look in (which isn't too often), there's nothing to see or hear.

I don't know if you or anyone else has noticed, but my screen-shots expand to full-screen if you click on them. After that, there's one more magnification if you click again. Don't know why this should be, but I'm not going to complain !

Last time I looked, #15 was idling away, and one speeder is back on it's spot to the right of the roundhouse.

Passenger cars for the Christmas train are now back in Chama, the bridge must be open!

Great news to see the train set back in the yard. Looks like all repairs were completed on schedule. Now we will be waiting for that first plume of smoke to show up this weekend in Antonito and next in Chama.:)

I am unfamiliar with the Christmas train routine. Where did the 15 pick up the consist? I presume there was a "hand off" somewhere up the line?
Thanks,
John

John the cars were kept on the other side of the bridge, while it was out of service, after coming back from Antonito. - Cars were nearby Mr. Ed Beaudette's (sp?) house so they had eyes on them. They've been there as I understand for a couple weeks at least.

I don't know that for a fact, Sharon, but that is my assumption yes. We know #19 was at Cumbres not long before the season ended, no reason they couldn't have gone as far as the Chama bridge.

Thanks folks for filling me in - like everybody else is saying - not much to follow this time of year! Too bad we missed them on the dot cams making the journey over.
