For the first time in decades, the rotary was pushed by two steam locomotives. Weather on the first day was spectacular! These first five photos are by Tina Cyr of WP&YR.

On Sunday, winter returned with snow and a biting wind. A Cat led the way down the line to speed things up for the rotary.

Did a 747 crash in the White Pass?? Nope, just Baldwin #1 trying to sneak up on the waiting crowd!
