That would have been something to see DoctorWayne. That would have been a fantastic experience, especially getting upto speed.... 40kph is kind of an insult eh?
But if you saw the rails, well you can I took a photo of it above. Yea, they aren't exactly the kind of rail that would be utilized for a locomotive like the 6060... I think Ten-Wheelers were the biggest locos on those rails until she started excursion service down there.
I think the Kettle Valley train in the Okanagan valley in BC is a little quicker. But they run 3716 (2-8-0) most of the time while they have a perfectly good Shay sitting there...
