----------------------------------------

 

It's Spring, 1953.  You're assigned to the NERR's Raton Pass helper service.  However, last night you were called down to Las Vegas due to a family emergency.  This morning you're returning to Raton on the world famous NERR Nor'Easter Limited.  Just in time too, because the Nor'Easter's F7s will need help over Raton Pass.  Your fireman will have your 4-8-2 #384 waiting for you at Raton.

 

You've known all the Nor'Easter crews for years, and although it's against regs, you're welcome in the cab for this run.  What the heck, this crew owes you a favor.  You may even just take the controls.  Just get the Nor'Easter there on time.

 

All traffic, including the NERR's Central Valley Produce Express, which pulled out of Las Vegas just 10 minutes ago, will take a siding to allow the Nor'Easter to pass. Obey all speed limits.  The Nor'Easter's engineer reminds you of the tricky curves north of Las Vegas, where speed restrictions are posted.

Yards = 15 MPH

Main = 90 MPH

Other = As posted

 

Drive Safely!
