The road is pretty nuts. Road rises about 4,800 feet in 7 miles. Average grade is 12%. I noticed two switchbacks. Its pretty much straight up (and down!). Weather was nuts, raining, leaves on road, lots of wind. DR and I were in our element.
M3 is actually diesel powered. Do not know the type of engine. DR did most of the climb in third with two or three uses of second and one trip to first after rounding a turn.
An actual steamer, pretty crazy. A cog rail too. How did the Dr. Like the climb?
ReplyDeleteThat choochoo is pretty much a steam donkey with wheels.
