Okay, have to ask: where is Cascade?  Not a name I can remember hearing before.

After the Mark Twain Zephyr was turned at Cascade they made a backup move from there to the stub track just west of the two mains on the south end of the depot.  There were two stub tracks there and the brakeman was supposed to stop the train before bumping the bumping post.  One time it didn't quite get stopped in time and the tail end suffered a dent right beside Mark Twain's face.  He never heard the last of that move.  That back up move was probably over a mile.  Archie
