It was an incredibly great day at Como on Saturday for Boreas Pass Railroad Days. It was an immense effort on the part of all who made it happen. Earlier this year many said it would never make it on time. I wish I could have done more to help out with this amazing project. I very much appreciate the invite into the cab of Klondike Kate (thanks Tim). it was definitely an honor.
I can't say enough about all who made this happen, and it is only the beginning. Shows you what can happen when dedicated folks put their minds to it.
Please go to the website and donate to this wonderful project. Even a small donation will be welcome! The last image from inside the roundhouse shows the 4 just after poling the gondola onto the turntable.
