Re: Some shots and thoughts from Railfest 08

Yes, the line was quite busy on Saturday. Counting the two drive by shootings (DBS), there were 44 movements over the bridge at 495.2 while we were there, plus the returning goose if it came back Saturday night (when did it break down?). We shot the goose down and back (DBS), the four northbound trains plus three speeders, then three southbound speeders followed by the four trains (X315 dbs). Then twenty two assorted speeders headed south, followed by the goose going south about 8 minutes late. The DS was having quite the time giving out lots of track warants for so much equipment in so little track space.

I can imagine Silverton got quite crowded for a while there.
