Encountering 493 and Big Horn Sheep on the High Line
| May 12, 2020 09:17PM |
I am guessing that most likely 493 is the only operating steam locomotive in the USA at this time, and even she hasn't operated for a few days. Today and tomorrow 493 will be down for a boiler wash, and the engine is planned to return to operation on Thursday. So I think I will post her highline operations a week ago today, Tuesday, May 5. Here 493 is entering the highline with the excavator flat car and string of log cars. No Big Horn sheep encounters until the return trip.
