The entire train crew worked the tail off re-railing the tender! Some of us meet the train at the top of Cumbers Pass and visited with the Crew sharing tails of a great day of railroading! The locomotive was building steam for the ride down the pass in the dark! What a site!
At 11:00 pm the whistle of 455 could be heard all over town!! Home at last!
The next day the RGS 455 was back on the line! It was great working with Earl reliving a day in the life on the RGS!
