Earl,
The track technically splits the Elephant enclosure in half. We have to stop the train at a gate that looks like it came from Jurassic Park so they can move the pachyderms from the west enclosure to the east one and back depending on the time of day.

Hope I am not speaking out of place but I have struck up quite the friendship with Kevin Bush here in Omaha. Seems like about 1/2 the stories he tells me from the SLRG days has you in it. Be a pleasure to meet the man behind the stories some day sir.

Josh
