| Post subject: | No Steam at Georgetown Loop until at least July |
The Clear Creek Courant newspaper has an article titled "Loop set to open Saturday with diesel engine" posted: http://www.clearcreekcourant.com/cgi-bin/storyviewxqwerty.cgi?040+NewsLocal.2008521-5317-040-040.Full The article indicates that there will not be any steam operations until at the Georgetown Loop until at least July. The article also says that the operator plans on using the Loop's #21 diesel locomotive as a backup, but last year the same operator chose to completely shut down instead of using #21. My understanding was that they chose to shutdown rather than use #21 because #21 had repeatedly derailed. -- Chris Webster http://www.speakeasy.org/~cwebster |
