Wow, they finally put the string of 3 red coaches behind the tender out of Chama. Wonder why they don't put the fourth one with it instead of putting that Green One after the 3 Red Ones.
With all the Cinder Bear attention, my guess is that a subtitle under the Flying Cumbres and Toltec will soon read "Route of Cinder Bear". Decals of Cinder Bear can be put on the sides of each coach, plus there is room for matching cinder bear decals on each side of 487's pilot plow. With some luck Cinder will become way more famous than Thomas, and maybe C&TS can make royalties off license agreements for the "Cinder Train". Stranger things have happened! The railroad might make more off a "Cinder Engine" than restoring 489.
Wow, I think the heat and humidity are finally getting to me. What was this thread about anyway!

PS Nice photo Rog. 487 looks ready for business!!
