I am so glad that this finally found its way onto the internet. its so difficult finding copies of this due to GGV being out of business and none of the bigger train video publishers picking them up
The Climax Loco would have been better to use for this "rock" service trains due to the fact that it would have had 12-driving wheels vs, the 8 from the low wheeled Mikado and had better tractive effort on a 2% grade. The fact that the Climax Loco was a more difficult engine to drive, just shows what nimrods these guys were and lack of appreciation for what certain Loco's were designed to do.

Hearing steam engines on their hands and knees is a religious experience

Was Mount Rainier actually paid for the work?
