Trip Number 350...and counting!

We just completed trip #350 with Engine 10 in our 2013 season. That is roughly 1400 miles, or approximately the distance from the railroad to Elk City, Oklahoma! If we had tracks all the way to Elk City, given our shay locomotive with a cruising speed of 8 mph, and stopping every hour to refuel and service the engine, it would take about two weeks to complete the trip...assuming no other mechanical issues along the way!

Of course, it also means that something else is about to happen...
