Well, Jason -
Given the need to accommodate more passengers than track-fixer-uppers,
we didn't do too bad a job of replicating the first train of forty years before.
And whereas the dam(n) / fill at 'Lake' Lobato is only about a mile from the
passing track, IMHO the hijacking isn't nearly as tangential as a recent one
that took us from narrow-gauge locomotive drawings the entire quarter-of-a-
million mile journey to the moon. Not to mention several others that I have
seen (or even taken part in) myself ...
