One Heck of a day. |
| Description: |
Here, 68 rests in the siding waiting for the return Turn to pass by. the turn was held up here at the depot for an hour and a half until the UP could scrounge up a crew to move their freakin train. The depot platform was 6 cars short(!) to allow us to continue our christmas train, therefore we had to cancel one of the trains. |

The train we took on our lunch trip originated in Springale at 0800, with a train full of people coming down to Van Buren to spend the mid day at the many antique shops and restaurants. The lunch trip from Van Buren to Winslow is a way to increase equipment utilization and revenue-and its a fun ride!! |
