Steam & Excursion > 8444 Meadow River Wash 5/80Date: 04/18/17 16:09 8444 Meadow River Wash 5/80 Author: callum_out I don't remember exactly what this trip was about though I believe it was for a Las Vegas celebration.
It rained heavily at times during the chase South from Caliente (NV) and the dirt road back to 93 was about like driving on ball bearings! Ah, the good old days? Out Edited 2 time(s).

That would be that trip with the early water car along wit 8444. I remember helping hostel it around at the Cheyenne Shops to make up the consist.
