Last Call For NNRy #93 in Heber This Weekend

Once again, a wide-guage report for those needing a winter steam fix!
I went up to Heber today and found NNRy #93 slowly building steam up getting ready for what might be her last call in Heber this weekend before returning to her home in Ely, NV. #618 and #75 were just being put back together after boiler washes and some minor maintenance jobs. All three will operate this weekend, so if you missed it before, this might be your last chance, with fewer crowds!
It was nice to have a brief break after the whirlwind 24hr ops during the Olympics, but I must say that everyone is a bit melancholy thinking that this Cinderella dream is coming to an end. This has truly been a priceless opportunity to work with the Nevada guys and other railroaders from all over the country, exchange ideas, and learn new techniques and info all around. At a post-olympic crew party, there were reports of crusty old railroaders getting misty eyed, but I'm sure it must have been the coal smoke or some ashes blowing around.
