Re: Three Months Ago Today IV.2 - 08/30/10 (pics)

Ed Baudette was working as the switchman that morning.  Here he catches a ride from the water
tower back toward the depot.  As you can tell from the background, there is a LOT to explore in
Chama, and it's well worth spending a day just wandering around the yard:


Jeff Stebbins was again on hand as engineer for the day; here he's backing down to pick up the office car from its usual spot just north of the depot:


Ed and Alan hitch a ride as Jeff makes up the snow-fighting train for Michael's night photo session on Tuesday:


With the Jordan Spreader at the front, the snow train is moved into position for the night photo shoot:


Most of the switching done, "#483" is positioned at the head of the re-enactment special. Floppo (shown here) and Jeff - himself a 1970 volunteer - were scheduled to be our engine crew later in the day (see [ngdiscussion.net] for Steve Forney's video):


At this point I put my camera away, and tried to earn my keep by helping Ed Stabler set up outside the depot.   Rain soon drove us inside, so there was a semi-captive audience in the depot for our debut of "Festus" ...     (See [ngdiscussion.net] - if you dare!)

(To be concluded ... )
