I was never a river drive cus i didn't know any river attractions, but everyone who drives at night loves it.

Originally Posted By dresswhites how many are on the twain? what do they do on the twain? how many on the Columbia, i know one is at the controls, but are there other river drivers on the Columbia for the show? Is this a full shift, or do the river drivers generally come in at dusk and work the shows and leave ?
