I can't believe 168 made it up the hill. 425 was apparently clinkered over, and was only able to help here and there as steam allowed... 168 was quite impressive that night.

EDIT: I note that the post says it came loose during the dinner train. Nope - must have been after it came down after the trains came across the whole railroad on friday - this clip is at the narrows just out of Chama on the dinner train.
