I chased the 486 from Durango to Hermosa today. Things seemed to be running pretty well. They stopped by the glider port and checked the engine and also did a check at the Hermosa tank. I had to get to a meeting so I don't know how far they were going to run her today. I have a home near Hermosa and can see and hear the railroad. I haven't seen here come back by tonight yet.
I heard a rumor that they may run a test train with her tomorrow or Friday.
Both geese and the Eureka went north this morning.
