For this activity you will be using the Mikado #900.

 

Ones again the old Mikados are pulled into freight service. Your task is to pick up two consists of full logger cars at the logging area just outside Mt. Epraim and pull them to the sawmill near Sarahville. The Mikado is not that powerful so you must plan your steam production well in order to be able to contend with the many grades of the track. Take extra care to maximize steam production when exiting Reiner so you have enough steam to contend with the long steep grade after Reiner. When arriving at the wye track next to the sawmill it is a good idea to split the two logger consists again before attempting to move over to the sawmill. If you try to pull all twelve cars over to the sawmill at ones you will end up down in Sarahville and you will have to split the train there to be able to bring it up to the sawmill.
