Durango & Silverton RR : Behind the Scenes

Postby ThatOnePerson » Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:19 pm

Managed to talk the employees into letting me into the machine shop and roundhouse around 11 at night (normally restricted to employees) for some pictures. All were taken on a 6-13 sec exposure. Really cool to see all the work that goes into these, hopefully the pictures do them justice. I changed the photos over to B&W, makes them look better, IMO.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
