He has shoved it back into the yard bypass. All said and done, it was just a yard move, no extra coach today.

I only have the South cam, but here's the geology train, followed very quickly by train 215 arriving in Chama. As 215 was unloading, 463 pulled the train past and then shoved into the South yard for storage. Looks like both trains were fairly well patronized today!
