What a special night. My wife and I had such a great night on the first train Sat night. We can not thank Jason and the crew for all the work that went into creating a special moment in time for us to enjoy. While walking to the enterance I mentioned to her that I would like to get something special to remember this once in a life time night. Well Jason had that already covered.
What a treat. We had the artist on the train with us that night.
The food was wonderful and filling!
I have photo's of all my RR dinners from Osier to Silverton and they are some of the best meals
Our trips around the park in the rain falling with dinner and friends was special. I loved listening to the car talk to me with her quiet creaks and noises only a real NG car can make. Sitting in those seats listening to her talk to me and doing what she is meant to do was magical. The equipment deserves to be used this way. How special when that day comes for her to run from Durango to Silverton. I feel very special to have had the chance to have that night last Saturday night. Heck of a way to celebrate your 20th wedding anniv.
Here is the Durango in the rain after our time inside.
The train in the rain with 340 behind the silver doors.
