Hi, Rich -
THANK YOU for putting this trip together! What a FABULOUS day!!
Since this was advertised as the Second Annual Geology Train, I presume it will be running
again next year, so I STRONGLY advise anyone with even the slightest interest in Geology
who didn't ride this year to not miss it the next time - especially if #463 is on the head end!!
- Russo
p.s. Having ridden the C&TS many times, and being very busy trying to absorb a little knowledge (retained for a few minutes, at least), I didn't take very many pictures. Hopefully a few others got some shots when I fired off four or five Press-22b flashbulbs inside Rock Tunnel; here's the one good shot I got of the very enthusiastic crowd enjoying our stop at Phantom Curve:
