493 going back for more logs on the northern Hi Line
| May 06, 2020 10:37PM |
Today (Wednesday, 5-6-20) 493 took another string of log cars to the loading area about a mile north of Cascade. Here 493 is moving her string of empties over the northern section of the Hi Line high above the rushing Animas River
Time to hike back to Rockwood - the train won't return until late afternoon. Tomorrow (Thursday) the plan, as I heard, is to take a string of empties to the loading area and to leave the cars for loading while 493 returns to Rockwood. The on Friday 493 will return up the canyon and pick up the loaded log cars and take them to Rockwood.
