Bruce,
That is awsome. Last year when I was down there in some training, I watched 14 trains leave the docks in one day. We were using #73 to move the trains to the shops for the desiels.
If you take those numbers and multiple by the fare, you come up with a whopping $384K for one days operation. Of course there are going to be some variables etc., but it looks like the Gold Rush has returned to the Yukon!
Wouldn't it be awsome if the C&TS could harness those kind of numbers for a few days.
