The train ride to the top was lovely. But I have to sing the praises of the train staff.
My wife Katie was leaning out of the train a bit to take a picture with her iPhone and .... dropped it from the moving train way up high. When we reached the top, we told the staff who promised to look for it on the way down. And ... they found it!!
One jumped off the moving train, grabbed it, tossed it to his colleague on our moving train, and began walking back up to take the next following train down. They would not let us tip them for this extraordinary service. Maximum shout-out to the train crew!!!
All in all, an excellent ride, FANTASTIC service, and the views at the top were superb, despite a light fog rolling in. The dining facilities at the top are first-rate as well.
Thanks for everything, guys, you saved us from a vacation disaster.
