DRGW 315 on Thursday
| August 18, 2016 11:28PM |
It was good to be back in narrow gauge country this afternoon and to see 315 in action once again. I missed the 2014 run on account of work, so the last trip I had behind the 315 was back in 2013 on the C&TS.
I'm tired, but figured I'd post a couple before calling it a night. I'll be on tomorrow's run as well, so maybe see a few more of you there.
Pouring rain before departure, with 481 leading the second regular train out of town
After 315 ran back to the end of track downtown Silverton for unknown reasons, here's our train coming back into the depot for boarding
By the time we'd gotten down to the Animas River bridges, the sun had actually managed to poke out
A fake water stop with some real maintenance
Is everyone back on board yet?
