One thing that we were not quite prepared for were the backroads. We soon figured out that it is almost impossible to follow the tracks closely unless you have a background vehicle. Some of the roads just dead end in some places then begin again on the other side of the Tanners Creek. We made it into Sunman where we had completely lost the train. However, when we crossed the tracks we noticed that the helper unit was on its way back to Valley Jct. so we decided to take a risk and beat it back to Greendale. We followed the main roads, which I was sure was going to make us miss it. TJ was confident that we would not. And sure enough, after about 5 minutes of sitting by the old signal bridge in Greendale, the engine showed up. Sometimes TJs luck makes me jealous, but Ill take it! |
