Look at the grade as soon as you leave Feild, I think it was 2.4%.

I guess when the tracks have snow on them, it makes for less traction, just like a car!

Eastbound traffic goes on the right side, the grade is about 3% downhill, westbound goes on the left, much less, about 1.5%.

Look at the tracks here, there is a long lead so they don't tie up the maineline or the siding.

Nice trip! Thanks for the photos.

That last shot of the track - can you explain that layout?? It looks really messy, and, well, "unprototypical"...;)

Holy Coolness.

You lucky dog, you. Thanks ever so much for a king's ransom of beautiful pictures. They're so good, I just simply can't pick a favourite.

Did you take a video camera along as well? ;)

I did bring a video camera, I have about 1 hour of video too, I actually opened up the front door both times we went through the spiral tunnels, and got video of the whole thing! It's really cool!

Video of Tunnel

Mike,

How about a Quicktime movie of the highlights from the trip? You could post a link to the movie. I'm sure that would be really cool.
