Well I wonder what is wrong with 484 since it just returned to the house to be replaced on today's double header by 487, 489? I noticed the 'Colorado' and 'Antonito' aligned for westbound on the back of the train. I imagine they will set them out at Cumbres for 215 to pick up or take to Osier to make the swap.

Could be either but I would think Osier since more time for switching and they could promise those seats for half the trip. 484 just spent a week+ in the shop, maybe still not totally right from the ring issue.
After reviewing the departure of 216, my question is who was in the Antonito and Colorado? Did they bring the passengers who would have ridden these cars out of Antonito over to Chama to do a Chama to Osier flip?

Student freight return to Chama after a run to Cumbres Pass then leaves again: NOTE: The north tipple cam had frozen sometime prior to the student freight doing this arrival/departure so we only have the view from the south cam.

While watching the afternoon trains coming in noticed a couple of wide loads going up 17. Looks like a modular building is being transported east. Second half of building in circle behind first just out of view.

Hopefully they are not going all the way to Antonito, that would not be a fun load to follow down the hill. I should have that in the video, will check, what time was this I do not see the time stamp on the shot.

About 4:11 local time. You see some interesting loads from time to time go through town while training,
My thought was some lucky cam watcher was moving into the area. Wishful thinking! :grin:
