How lucky! Here in Florida, no steam locomotives, but, steam traction/tractors!

Ben,
You make me SICK!

The biggest steamer in my area is about the size of a carnival train that gives out rides to those around the area for $4.00 a ride.....not to shabby for a LPG powered 4-4-0!

Altho, in my home area of Pennsylvania, has the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, that has a 2-8-0, "Mountain Thunder" Western Maryland #734...Which I've tracked through the area, AND rode behind on its trip from Cumberland, MD. To Frostburg, MD.......

Lucky you, Ben. She is really beautiful. It looks really humid in that second set of photos.

I'm glad I got the mileage I did with C&O 614 before she was mothballed; now she's down in VA. It would be nice to see it and 844 double-heading. 614 has all roller bearings, so it doesn't need constant greasing 844 does, btw.

I've been hearing that the greenbrier express involving 614 has been cancled... I wonder if this is true.

Hyde,
That would stink if it is cancelled! I hope not I'd like to see or hear about the 614 running again under her own steam!

Thought i heard that right. It was a bad plan from the start, why they chose that portion of the U.S that just happened to be CSX territory aka "No Steam" is beyond me. I hope Ross will move #614 some place else.

Last I heard the Greenbrier Express was still on, but 614 was simply to be a static attraction for it. Were there ever plans to have her pull the train?

I guess the express has been canceled since, which doesn't surprise me.

I'm just glad I got a runby cab ride in her back in '97.

Nelson the intent was to have 3 steam locomotives pull the train after the first few diesel runs. The other 2 steamers were to come from other places. They were to run while 614 was being restored. From my understanding the whole plan is cancled all together,

I have to give that whole debacle one big !

The 844 episode was the best of that series, aside from the dopey host's unnecessary sarcasm about those older railfans.
