The more 'hard core' and 'traditional' special train riders that I conversed with on the train all were okay with that went down. Most of us going in, knew there was a realistic chance we don't make the hill. There was some discontent that they never let us off the train to stretch our legs and take some photos of the locomotives while we waited. I am a bit sad to hear that there were complaints though. The railroad was offering refunds for those that were unpleased with the trip.
