BIG STEAM LOCOMOTIVE DELAYED

Post by zephyrus » Tue Aug 30, 2005 11:29 am

Well, the best laid plans....

Seems the steam train crew stopped last night to help fight a big fire just east of Elko, NV. In doing this, they drained all their extra water (this should hit a chord with us) from their auxiliary water tenders.

This morning, they are refilling and tending to some mechanical items. I just got word about 20 minutes ago that the train is delayed an estimated 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours.

They will still be stopping in Gerlach, but it probably won't be until some time around 6:00 PM. If you see this post and are stopping in Gerlach, if anyone is waiting please let them know.

Thanks! Heading up in 1 hour...
