The hump job comes back down the hill before grabbing another set of cars to push up. That would conclude the first day train wise. Afterwards we checked into the hotel, grabbed some supper at Five Guys across the street, went to BAM at the mall, and came back and redeemed points for the arcade, bowled, and did some exploring. What a great first day! Never in a million years would we have guessed we would have gotten an impromptu walk-through of a railroad museum on this trip. Even Trent, who isnt big into trains, was impressed by that. The late start definitely went in our favor. Day 2 is next!
