It seems that you visited one of the days that our PA was on the fritz, and we were unable to provide the usual historical speech collectively to the entire train. Although I was only on the train on Saturdays, my conductor and I did try to walk through the cars and give some information personally, but it was hard to yell over a full coach of talking passengers. If you would like any of the historical information that we normally give along the way, shoot me an e-mail at the following address:<br /><br />shane.schabow@colorado.edu<br /><br />The crew is also looking forward to having steam power on the train again, as hearing a diesel horn in the canyon doesn't have the same presence as a steam whistle echoing up the valley!<br /><br />BTW, nice article and photographs of the Switzerland Trail grade!<br /><br />Kind Regards,<br /><br />Shane Schabow<br />Brakeman, Georgetown Loop RRShane Schabownoreply@blogger.com
