Really hoping there's some time when I get off the train at Needleton to get a quick beta from the Silverton bound folks getting on. I'm thinking I'll stash my axe, gaiters, or any other unneeded gear at Needleton if I can get an update proving they're not needed...
Just depends on whether they are loading passengers. First time I was there this year over Memorial day, they only stopped for 5min to unload us and our bags, then were off. The second time when I picked up the train at Needleton they had to load on a raft group and all their gear, so probably sat there for 15min or more getting all their stuff on. They don't have a particular length of time, just long enough to load/unload gear and people.
