Tom: You're obviously not going to be one of the 10 Happy campers ---- your already causing trouble

I was just thinking about that... 463, frieght cars and 497 will cut off and cross the trestle. 48? will bring the train across and probably make the joint with the 497, instead of having the passenger train stop and the usual helper back up to the joint move (a bit tricky with the 463 having the train air 6 cars up around a curve with a large anchor in the form of 497 to help drag the freight portion back).
If 497 needs water at Cresco, that could be interesting to watch.
Ought to be fun, buy a ticket.
