点评:We had hoped to ride behind a 1909 steam locomotive but it developed a mechanical defect and a diesel was substituted. The ride through the Arizona desert was pleasant, colors were starting to change and the hostess gave an enlightening commentary. Snacks and drinks are available on board.
After returning we were offered a tour of the repair shops where their engines are maintained. Much of the tooling is a century old but still does its job, although the handful of workers forces them to set priorities. One of the three steamers is receiving a 15 year rebuild and the boiler and cylinders can be seen to gain an impression how it works. They also have diesel locomotives from ALCo, Baldwin and EMD which handle the majority of runs.
Some runs feature Halloween, train robbers and other events to hold kids' interest. Check the website for details.
翻译:我们原本希望乘坐 1909 年的蒸汽机车,但它出现了机械故障,因此换成了柴油机车。穿越亚利桑那州沙漠的旅程很愉快,色彩开始变化,女主人给出了启发性的评论。车上提供小吃和饮料。
返回后,我们参观了维修店,在那里维修他们的发动机。许多工具已有百年历史,但仍在发挥作用,尽管少数工人迫使他们设定优先事项。三艘蒸汽船中的一艘正在进行 15 年的重建,可以看到锅炉和气缸,以了解其工作原理。他们还有来自 ALCo、Baldwin 和 EMD 的柴油机车,负责大部分运行。
一些运行以万圣节、火车劫匪和其他活动为特色,以吸引孩子们的兴趣。查看网站了解详情。
