Re: The WORST trip you've ever taken

1999 NRHS convention excursion - round trip Sacramento-Keddie. Was suppose to be pulled by 3985, that was nixed after 844's boiler tube failure. UP came up with a dirty GE unit to pull the train. 1 hour late start out of Sacramento. 1 hour delay on the way up at Oroville because the box lunches were not ready. Hit debris on the track southbound out of Oroville on the return, backed up to Oroville and waited for new power since the GE unit was damaged. Ended up pulling back into Sacramento around 11:30pm.

On the good side, any trip into the Feather River Canyon is worth it!
