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. |
