5/22/18 The count down continues

Have the recording going and will post any interesting activities when I get home this afternoon barring a stream freeze again. Currently 463 and 484 are simmering quietly in front of the house.

PREPAIRING for PRIME TIME today!!

Just watched 463 head out of Chama with a complete train (with caboose). 463's whistle must have received some tuning over the winter as I think it sounds better than ever!

My stream froze again so don't know until I review what I did get whether I got 463 leaving. Whistle sounds good but will miss the manual bell on it, it gave the K27 character.

This is all I got prior to the freeze up. I am going to have to try and figure out what is happening because this does not bode well for the season since I do not stay in for the departure.

The storage reefer is looking good

What I have seen both days is the freeze comes about 2 to 2.5 hours after I start and once it is restarted it will run the remainder of the day.
