Date: 06/17/22 04:33 Re: More White Pass Author: cozephyr Any word on the White Pass operating their steam engine in 2022-? Thanks for the latest White Pass locomotives - impressive-!
Date: 06/17/22 07:14 Re: More White Pass Author: mcdeo Agreed, thank you for posting, great stuff.
How many newer engines do they have? And how many trains do they run per day? Looks like they need several locomotives, even at 1 per train. And a healthy train length for sure. I think they were also working on a loop at the end of the line, did that get completed? Mike ONeill Parker, CO Date: 06/17/22 08:28 Re: More White Pass Author: SD45X Last year they built a balloon track at summit instead of going to Fraser to balloon the train. Too much fog to get a shot of it.
6 NRE units. They have three Shovelnoses running to switch cars . one train an hour but seems first two leave within 20 minutes of each other and then one an hour. 9 trains a day I think was the count. No wasting time as they cut the road power off and run to the Shops balloon and back to the train and recouple and ready to leave again after a shovel nose switches the train or positioning it to reload.
