Richwood & Tahoe Railroad

They ran 7 trips today for a local fund raiser and I went out to pay them a visit ended up with an invite to crew future runs. I love a " right place at the right time" moment.
Some info I gleaned:
*Oil fired with a Propane pilot light in case of flame out to prevent flashbacks.
*MAWP 200 low pop set to 195
*24" gauge
*one or two man set up.
*1.5 mile double loop on 2 levels. Quite a nice ride, takes about 20 minutes , 35 passengers a trip on average. 2 open side loading open air and one child friendly Caboose.
