Re: 480 at Cataract Falls exactly one year earlier

Thank you for the complimentary comments. Cataract Falls and the Narrows really are some of the scenic treasures of the Silverton line. MarkMPT's comment about 2019 - last year had a much snowier winter than 2020, we are heading into an extreme drought at this time, with the small snow pack melting very rapidly. It is a good thing that the DSNG is doing fire mitigation and converting some engines to oil firing. Here is 480 bringing up the Silverton train exactly one year earlier than 493's run - there was far more snow on the ground, and minutes later another snow storm moved in.
