15 years ago for the 110th anniversary of the D&S the Gov was in town and was supposed to take the Nomad up to the Iron Horse Resort with Bradshaw. On its way back from Silverton immediately before the gov was supposed to board, it tipped over at Home Ranch when a brakeman prematurely threw the switch. Now the Jupiter and 119 collide shortly after the gov of Utah left. My advice, stay away from trains when the Gov is near.
