Hi, Rehunn -
I didn't say they WON'T run backwards - obviously they have to run backwards in the yard -
They just don't run backwards nearly as well as they run forwards, so the trip to Lobato on
the afternoon of 08/30 will be SLOW.
Someone else already suggested a wye at Lobato - this would, IMHO, be a GREAT addition to the C&TS. Actually, I'd like to see a wye at "Weed City", and a turning loop around the hill on the north side of the trestle ...
