It also rained so the rails are wet, plus they use to come around the way they went after they backed up so they could get a run at the hill instead of starting on a hill

Unfortunately, park leadership decided to run the start in the wrong direction for photography's sake, and it is logistically difficult for them to reverse it now unless they overhaul the entire station and lower loop. The engine isn't the issue, the loss of a running start is. 192 has an even harder time.

@@dcstonejust adjust the water tower and your good.

Lost traction on wet leaves and wet rails.

@@cple1 No working sanders on the locomotive?? Seems like they need them badly

@@funone8716 they have working sanders. Remember the grade is about 5% and they are at their tonnage rating with 7 loaded cars. The station loop was actually designed to be traversed the other way so you could get a running start, but park executives wanted the locomotive to be visible as you walked up the hill to the station.

@@cple1 Hopefully they will turn the train back around sure will be better for the little "Mikes " to negotiate the grade the way the Robbins had built it.

@@goldenway7 can't without rebuilding the entire station. One of them doesn't clear going the other way.

That was one of my favorite parts of the video too and I shot it. Lol!

yes
