From earlier this morning - 489 brought 463 back outside and is now sitting on the East side in front of the shop. Perhaps we'll see her get hot sometime today.

484 now moving to hook up to the coaches, and indeed 463 is getting hot.

Good job Jeff! Nice capture of 216 too, we haven't had to many of those so far this year.

Here's today's videos --

Train 216 Departure with lots of Friends waving at the passengers as they go buy



A bit unusual move here - 489 comes out to the ash pit under it's own power, 463 pulls up behind couples to 489 and then pulls 489 back so both are on the East side shop lead. No idea the reason, but unusual to see them do this move this way.
