The 484 just used the 463 to pull the 488 out from the east stall and is moving it to the west side.

It is slightly blurry due to enlargement, but is that the 488 sitting in front of the west stall next to a simmering 484????? I have been watching people moving around this locomotive for the last hour or so.

484 is now towing the 488 out to the coal dock. I am recording this moment and the video will be up soon. She is so shinny in the new paint. We could easily see break in runs tomorrow.

Just went back to look and now the 463 is in front of the east stall and 489 is in front of the west side. Can see a locomotive inside the west stall.
