Marty,
Thanks for the heads up!! I wonder what constitutes an 'extreme train'? Be cool if they did some of the less main stream ones, like the Mt Washington Cog. When they had the 9 moving parts switches, that was really amazing to watch. Now, I think they are using some other kind of switch that has fewer moving parts, but it sure was exciting watching these guys throw all those parts with the ascending train approaching! Talk about a stressful dirty job!
Probably a modern trains kind of program, which would also be cool.
For extreme operations, I witnessed some excellent co-ordination at the Strasburg Railroad during their Day Out with Thomas event in September. Every 20 minutes a train was loading or unloading from the platform. Three steam trains operating concurrently, with most of the patrons riding the Thomas train which departed on the 15 and 45 of the hour. The regular hourly train and a half hour train added to the congestion but everything was orderly and the schedules were adhered to as closely as possible.
Time to set the DVR to record!
