The Engine
Here's the engine itself.  At Keystone, our "turn around" point, they stopped the train, disconnected the engine, and moved it to what was formerly the rear of the train.  So on the way back to Hill City, the engine was facing the "right" direction.  This was different than the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge which we took a few years earlier in Durango, Colorado, where they turned the entire train around on a wye.
