You may have been wondering where the train was when all of this devastation took place.
Well, some smart thinking and good weather forecasting helped save our little train that
day. Owing to the ominous storm reports, we decided to leave the train's cars back in the
woods (across the bridge from the main station) on relatively high ground to keep them safe.
However, we couldn't leave the engine back there, as it needed to be near enough to water
and coal to get it fired-up again when all this was over. So, the next-best thing to do
was to leave it at the top of the hill leading out from the main station. This photo to
the left shows that hill, looking back on it from the top. Yes, that track used to be
straight!
