Welcome to the Harvey house in Belen, New Mexico....

I was in town for a Balloon Rally, thought I would get a few shots for you!! You can see a few trains being serviced, soon they will ready to roll with fresh crews...

Monday morning and five painted cars sit in the morning sunshine!! Kinda gives you a idea what the whole train will look like!

Work continues on the MOW equipment!!!

Have to keep those trailers in great shape...

The Chama based parlor car will follow the Chama Based snack car into the shop, it is sitting ready on Track 4.

Work is done on one truck of Diesel 19, now the second truck will have its axle's removed!! They have in fact been removed and are in Chama for Tire replacement.

Now thanks to Rocky Mountain Electric Motors, the generators of Diesel 19 were delivered back to Antonito fully rebuilt and ready for service.

The Tamper and Regulator are having their turn with Rudy in the CRF.

You can see two rebuilt Motor car trailers and next to them the heavy machinery will get looked over..

The Chama based snack was in for maintenance and we did some major work on one of its trucks...

This truck set received new wheels and two new springs..

I thought you would like a few shots of American Railroading...

A Cumbres & Toltec Motor car in front of the Antonito Shed.

Its not often the guys park the motor car off the main like this, I took advantage and got a few shots.

March 14th and we are moving the 487 over to track three...

We will prepare 487 for its Hydro Test... we are going to put 487 thru its annual test..

Remember that list I showed you a while back, we are going to do everything on that list..

We will test the boiler, go thru the air system, do maintenance on the locomotive and check the boiler flue's and plugs...

There is a giant list and proper procedure for doing a annual on a steam locomotive and we will follow those procedure's to a T to prepare 487 for service this summer.

BNSF 6840 is working the Belen Yard with two crew members...

Welcome to Lamy, New Mexico... I have come here to catch Amtrak rolling thru town!

Looking down the Mainline facing West..

Lamy, New Mexico... Next update we will see Amtrak rolling into station.
