It is getting nicer. How many cars on the train today with you having 455(aka 463) and the 315.

Through the herculean efforts of the special (work) forces of the Friends, during session “X”, a reenactment of a RGS special to Lizard Peak was indeed possible.

Anybody got a shot they can share of Lizard Head? I'm curious how that one turned out.

My wife and I was lucky enough to ride on the Monday charter. I would like to thank everyone that was involved in making this charter available. Would have loved to ride in the caboose and the copula but it was always full, maybe sell tickets for that separately next time or separate ticket for so many minutes in the cupola. GREAT JOB EVERYONE. :cheers:

Kevin, you just needed to get in there and put the 20 minute clock on the seat warmer. I did and got time on both sides plus on the rear platform watching the track drift away. Both my partners found time there also. You just didnt try hard enough!
