Engineers designed a series of switchbacks which allowed the train to climb nearly 2700 feet at a gradient of 1-in-18 by going forwards then backwards up a second set of tracks. tracks.

Thanks, Duane. It was a fun ride. People used to be able to sit on the top of the train, but there was a fatality and now it is more like a modern train ride. Still, it is a lovely ride.
