Thanks for the profile, Karl.

That was quite a ride, I've went through it several times. Once with a Burro Crane and flat car. Once with permission I took a one tie switch stand off the back track on the north end of the tunnel. It had "Frisco System" on it. Kind of wished I would have kept it, but it was too heavy and a guy in Kansas made an offer that I couldn't refuse.

There are a couple in the Ft. Smith museum.

The Silver Palace dome car was once owned by Country & Western star Merle Haggard. I had the pleasure of riding in the Silver Place car several times. Such is still available to do so. It is very special inside and such experiences are always remembered.
