Date: 03/07/25 13:08 Re: Amtrak train 5 Author: dan I don't know , the engine had to be left in Bond, i was wondering what got ripped out, tank punctures, other stuff, don't recall an engine was left in Granby a couple weeks ago, but for all i recall it could have been a mechanical problem, rockslides are the most common in the spring.

And they like doing it as a surprise too! How many times has Rio Grande dealt with that over the years!

Smokers would just freak out for example
