Reminds me of friends returning from a couple weeks playing in the mountains telling tales about a magic brew that couldn't be bought in Chicago.

G'day Kevin from Downunder! [:)]
From here I can't see a photo on your post, just a square wiht an "X" in it.
I'm not sure if the "up over" posters are seeing that too, or if they are getting your picture......

What sort of grade is the railway? Sounds like one would need oxygen bottles at the top! heh heh[;)][:)]
