Into The Tunnel
I get a ride on the train with the problematic car, but there were two of us on it so no derailment this trip. Elliot has stationed himself at the far end of the tunnel to get some video of the trains emerging into the light. I like the fact that the Blue Ridge Live Steamers club installed a tell-tale before the tunnel to warn of the impending close clearance. That kind of apparatus harkens back to the days of wooden boxcars, and brakemen riding the tops to control the train on downgrade runs by setting the brakes manually.
