The fireman's wife had her work cut out for her. Two of the volunteers had injuries so she had to take their place for this weekend runs. She was the tour-guide, conductor, and brakeman all rolled into one. She said all the volunteers had to be trained in all phases of the operation so it was just part of the job, but it was a long day for her.
They run on Saturday and Sunday and make two trips each day. #8802757
