It's too bad that one of the C&TS support trucks couldn't have had a "flat tire" on the road into Sublette a few minutes before the train was due . . .

Good idea, Rich -
I've been held up more than once while a scenic stretch of highway was closed to allow the filming of a car commercial. The C&TS may not have the clout of General Motors* or Mercedes-Benz – but the railroad IS owned by the two states, so why not enlist their help in ensuring that participants get their money's worth without interference from outsiders?
