Bulldozers are scheduled to start opening the line on top tomorrow. Line is clear from Chama to MP 334 and from Antonito to Los Pinos. 19 is making semi-regular work train runs out of Antonito hauling track materials and ballast.
Planning steam work train next week up to MP 336 (the "Kink") don't know exact day or what power. 489 has been hot since last Friday and has done some minor puttering around the yard. Don't know when Bob expects to fire 497, probably soon.
Over in Antonito, an "imported" crew (from Chama) is reassembling 487 while Marv and the guys hammer away at passenger cars.
