Well, the best laid plans....
Seems the steam train crew stopped last night to help fight a big fire just east of Elko, NV. In doing this, they drained all their extra water (this should hit a chord with us) from their auxiliary water tenders.
This morning, they are refilling and tending to some mechanical items. I just got word about 20 minutes ago that the train is delayed an estimated 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours.
They will still be stopping in Gerlach, but it probably won't be until some time around 6:00 PM. If you see this post and are stopping in Gerlach, if anyone is waiting please let them know.
Thanks! Heading up in 1 hour...
