Train Mountain: 42-car Mixed Manifest

Post by Donhost4449 »

I decided to squeeze in one last trip to Train Mountain prior to the kids returning to school. While there, we decided to "go big" by rounding everything up that was set out in the main yard, and go for a ride. This video is the end result. We only had three derailments while on the mainline, and a few more than that in the yard. We had brakeman/conductors spread out along the consist with radios, since the engineer (a Union Pacific conductor) was rarely able to see the end of his train. Enjoy!
