The 7 day display/runs AFT 4449 did ending yesterday were because of the Portland & Western RR asking of us to attend the Artrain display. The 4449 was covered on the P&W's insurance policy. Unfortunately that policy didn't cover passengers, so the people you saw on the train were railroad guests and people who put the Artrain event together. We had many people wanting ticket info, but we had to tell them about the insurance situation. Because of the success of the event and the positive PR it gave the P&W, we're all hoping that this might leed to future trips again on the P&W. The big factors aren't only insurance, but the taking of "privately owned" (group/museum/city/etc.) 60+ year old steam locomotives out for joy rides and having mechanical problems and delaying MILLIONS of dollars worth of freight trains doesn't help the situation. The locomotives are old, and problems happen. But when one locomotive has a problem, it reflects on all of them. Smokebox
