Intersection and drove back to catch it at this Crossing. |

Well thats it for this week, I hope to get a chance to get into the
Chama Shop to see 488, it can be hard when I have to get off the
Train and onto the Bus for Antonito Right away, I just don't have
the Time.. But I do have some News for you.. Locomotive 488 is a
little behind schedule, after nearly completing the boiler work, our
Crews found a weak spot in the Firebox Internal Sheet, sooooo.. The
Crew will have to back-track and remove a whole section of the
Firebox Sheet and replace it again.. this means that Locomotive 488's
will be a little late to see Steam This Year.. I will try to get some shots
of 488 this week, but as I have told you... When I run straight thru
to Chama, I have to return immediately on the Passenger Bus with the
Passengers and have not had the time to get any shots of 488. But I
will try harder for you all.. And I will continue to update you on
488.. Once again, Thank you for being patient with the little
problem I experienced, my Computer seems to be back on Track.. I
hope you enjoy my Visits to other Railroads and my Personal Life
added in, here and there... Thank you all so much, Carlos Llamas
Hey Guess What... I have some Update Photo's of 488, I got them
this Morning, September 5th, they will be on Next Week's Update...
