> 168 is awesome and double heading will be amazing to see
Too good a trip to pass up... just booked me and eldest son.
When we had kids at home here in COS, I'd occasionally take the boys downtown to watch a few trains, and we'd sometimes stop by to walk around 168 where she sat in Antlers Park. Never thought we'd see her running, much less in some of the best scenery in the Intermountain West. I do like to watch multi-engine lashups conquer Cumbres, but seeing 168 by itself out in Los Pinos Valley...
