Thanks for that George . It wouldnt be the first time , i think the last frieght trains on this line were logging specials , to bring out logs from areas inaccessible by road . That was before the passenger service , they simply parked the train on the mainline while it was loaded .
Ive never ridden this line , it is supposed to be stunningly spectacular .
