Olaf, I was not the only rider on the northbound train. Al Harper, two Silverton officials, some D&S managers and staff were on board. I was the only rider on the return run to Durango. The D&S management had meetings to attend and rode a D&S van home. The freight cars behind 493 gave me a bit of a preview of the TRAINS Charter in August.
I shot over 10 gigs of 4k video, but will take me a while to edit.
