Rockwood to Cascade Trains Start
| June 25, 2018 02:28PM |
The D&S began running trains from Rockwood to Cascade and return today. The riders are bused from Durango to Rockwood. Diesel 7 "Big Al" brought down some passenger cars from Silverton over the weekend. The crew choose to use Diesel 11, so bit of switching before the first train departed. They are fueling the diesels from tanks on the south leg of the Rockwood wye. The first train had two coaches and two rider gons.
