First, the first double-header of the season.
484 made her maiden run.

Then 487 developed a hot journal, so 484 went to the rescue.

Nice to hear that C & T are off to another year of operating.
3 engines up and running. What's are the people in the shop getting ready to do next?
I know they have to keep the 3 engines running and that can be a full time job.
What shape are they in, for money from the 2 States?
Thanks for posting the video. nice!

Bob,
The C&TS is, indeed, off to a good start this year.
Next in the shop will be 489.
Money picture is bright. Both Colorado and NM kicked in a lot of bucks, totalling $3.6 million.
Heavy track work is in progress. Should see 5 engines under steam in 2008.
