6/29/17 Thrusday and word on 488

[Sharon Evans]

I asked Joe Kanocz, one of the Chroniclers, if he would report on the doings of 488 yesterday. He messaged me back to say the activity we saw with 484 and 463 when 215 arrived was indeed related to 488. Earlier in the day it was shoved out the back of the house to be pressure washed and at the time of 215's arrival they were pulling her backing into the east stall. We are ever closer to fire up day for this locomotive.
Resting quietly in front of the house we see 484 in front of 463 on the east side and 489 on the west side.

I have a dental appointment this morning and then some things I have to do. Will set to record, but having a lot of streaming issues right now so not a clue if I will get the departure so will not set up a hold. Before someone kindly asks, I use Chrome to get the feed.
