For me my favourite chase had to be October 2002 in Montana. Nine days of glorious sun and a steam engine that looked like it belonged there. SP&S 700 and the Montana Rockies by Daylight train. The crew wasn't afraid to "see what she'll do" for all the major grades. Two of the most memorable moments were on the side of the hill just upgrade from the Greenhorn Trestle. As the engine came off the trestle straining with all its might and the throttle up to the roof, engineer Jim700 had the biggest smile I have ever seen as he went by. The other was in the trees slightly above the Marent Trestle west of Missoula. The CHUFF CHUFF chuf chuf, CHUFF CHUFF chuf chuf sound from that day is still burned into my brain. Sure wish they would do it again.
