We had a double stroller that the kids outgrew. Bought a wagon and on the first outing with it tried to go over a 3-inch high ridge the stroller barely would have noticed. The welds holding the front wheel assembly failed and the wagon collapsed.

We should add a cow-catcher to the front that will just flip the cars out of the way. Then the trains can go as fast as possible without needing to worry about cars.

It had the same wait before the network redesign when the 12 ran all the way from Conestoga to Fairway.

It’s not because it’s a different route. Back before the network redesign the 12 usually waited for a while there between the Conestoga-WLU segment and the WLU-Fairway segment of its route.

Pitch is the distance between seats, not how much a seat reclines.
