I was too late to catch shots, but 489 began its day by moving 315 into the west stall of the house.

484 had pulled the 463 out of the west stall and is putting it on the east lead.

After the early morning flurry, all is quiet again.

489 moved 315 over to the depot track, looks like for display until they use the locomotive again in the fall.
