Back in 2000, they offered round trips to Bennett with steam both ways. Saturdays only. Best trip the White Pass scheduled, in my opinion. There were photo stops at Bridge 14-A (Glacier) and at Shallow Lake. You could form photo lines at both places where lots of people could get a good 3/4 photo of the train, with no one in the way. McDermott was the conductor. It had a timetable schedule as Nos. 11 and 12, but as you can see, they cancelled the schedule and ran it as an extra. I think John Bush initiated this operation.
