What I'd like to know is what happens if 1203 cant clear the rockwall at the mine cut. What then? Send 1203 back to Oregon or destroy the craftsmanship of the welshmen that built the rock wall by widening the cut?
They already screwed up the walls with the Rock Bolts, so why not replace it with a look alike rock wall the public wont know the difference and they dont have to send their choo choo back.
The way they have been running this whole thing , I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see them do somethign like that. Case in point, the remodel of the Silver Plume Station building comes to mind.
