You mileage total is impressive. But assuming you kept track, how many unduplicated miles do you have?

Surely you jest. Do you want that narrowed down to tenths or hundredths of miles?

I keep track by 10th of a mile using official railroad timetables.

When the UP recalculated and renumbered some mileposts on the Coast Line a few years ago, did you make the necessary adjustments?

"Your mileage may vary."

Yes I made the adjustments.

Chris

PS This post is about the story not the mileage by the way

Chris, are you still working? Interesting you had so many trips with the UP 3985, which we may never see again.

I still believe we will see 3985 again someday. Dickens won't be
in charge forever.

Chris -
I see you have MRL's 2 SD19-1s listed. Did you ever ride the two steam trips put on by Montana Rockies Rail Tours in 2002 and 2004? They had F45 391 on those trips.

There are 2 Berkshires on my list


No I had other things to do when both those steam trip ran. You can't do everything in life. I rode the MRL's 2 SD19-1s on the Montana Daylight regular train roundtrip back in 2003.

Total miles would be fine. I was just curious to see yours based on your overall mileage total. I'm not nearly as accurate as you. I just do total miles. Its often difficult overseas to determine exact miles where about a third of my unduplicated mileage is (The Tran Siberian added to the total rather quickly!). But my country count is accurate covering track in 33.
