I do not remember now which one goes to the barn at 4PM but I am guessing the UPRR goes 1st as to reach the barn the other one would have go forward to a xover then go on a another track nearer the building & then xover back over behind the UPRR loco to reach the barn.

But they will fire one of them up for Winter Steam Fest. dd Reply Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join. To participate you must either login or register for an account.
