I am at work, and my MY books are at home. ;-(

When SLC and Orion took the coach to Nevada, how long had regular
service been running on that line? Was it considered reliably safe?
Did they have indoor accommodations some nights? Most nights?

(I know that some of these questions are covered in Roughing It --
accurately or embellished -- and possibly in good annotated versions
thereof. But I bet some listmembers know, too.)
