That's a bummer. What if you booked a trip to Silverton and want to ride STEAM ONLY? Can you switch to another day, or what? I know someone who has already booked such a train ride to Silverton. He is a first-timer and wants the pleasure of riding behind steam not a diesel! I thought they were going to have 3 oil burners, and 18. 1 for Silverton, 1 for Cascade, 1 extra for a second Silverton train if needed, or as a back-up, and 18 for helper service to Rockwood for whatever runs to Silverton that is over 12 cars. I guess a lot will depend on advance sales and overflow.
