A few hundred feet, at least at last visit, all in 3 rail.

And the tracks aren't three feet wide, they're three feet apart.

I'll be traveling out to Las Vegas a few days after New Years. Do any of you locals know if she will still be in Boulder City? If not, is #4 available for viewing in that area? I just missed her at DSNGRR and would sure like to see her out in Nevada...Thanks in advance for any information.

It's never been 3-rail trackage, Dan has built his own trackage within museum grounds...

the 3 rail you mention is part of the Museum display track - never used. Dan has about 1,000' to run on, with about 500' more being prepared.

Last chance to see her run for a while, IIRC, due to looming FRA boiler exam?
