(04:03):
out of earshot. What was thathe said about sheet steel? Three inches

You know. The canyon took itsname from an old mining camp.
Now at the bottom of the lake. I still don't see it with a
roaring camp Quino. Until they builtthe dam and turned the canyon into a
reservoir, it must have been toughto get to down in a hole like
that. They had a railroad,Quino. They broke a tunnel through the
canyon wall, laid the tracks throughthe tunnel and down the canyon wall to
(05:57):
the camp. Yeah, now you'rebeginning to understand exactly, Keno. The
camp is under a thousand feet ofwater, but the branch line tracks still
lead to the water's edge through thetunnel, down the wall. Now listen,
you don't think they could wear Whatwas that? I didn't hear nothing.
It sounded like a rushing of windor wings high over our heads,
(06:23):
chicken hawk at night. Well,I don't hear it now, whatever it
was? Hey, what about thecanyon? Well, Keno, that's where
that spare engine went last night,into the lake, Right into it,

engine. They jumped off last night, just in time. What the engineer?
