Sorry, NO DOUBLE HEADER AFTER ALL. 
We added 3 extra cars and thought it would be enough and we would run a double header. But I just received notice that the D&SNG sold enough tickets to fill the extra coaches and still needed MORE capacity!
We now need to run even MORE cars than two locomotives can pull. This means Saturday's train will be sectioned, each with its own locomotive capable of hauling up to 12 cars each. The sections will leave Durango 15 minutes apart. (8:45am and 9:00am)
Good for business but a disappointment for those who love seeing double headers. (I was sooooo looking forward to it!)
At this time the only double header we have planned is for 4th of July.
