    All the MK trains (and monorails) go back to the backstage MK roundhouse and spend the night indoors for cleaning and maintenance.

    I have not noticed where there would be a similar facility for the AK Conservation Train.

    Does it just spend the night outdoors? Serviced on the track where it sits? Is there cover for it?

Since all seats are facing to the outside of the loop (left side of the train), the service building is unseen.

Once you find the train's layout, you can see the train's 'roundhouse' (service building) along it's route. Since this appears to be an older satellite picture, Expedition Everest is still under construction.

    QUESTION -- Thet MicroSoft aerial image tool -- can you make that go full screen instead of just the partial window?

    And is there a way to SAVE the image other than PrintScreen?

    I've looked, and I can't find it.
