Thanks Jerry and others for your kind words. My thoughts are they would normally be running three trains so one less train. Maybe a result of not being able to fill the third because of cancelations. You can see the stack sprayers running full blast in the video on the hillside. I got speckled good when the 476 left the station. I also noted seasoned senior engineers and supervisor in engines.
