Re: 473 and 478 - 5 minutes at Tank Creek

Water is rushing into 473's cistern for the hard haul to Needleton tank
With two full tenders, the double header is ready to head north
On the return trip engine 473 can handle the grade from High Bridge to Rockwood without assist, and 478 will run light engine back to Durango ahead of the train
