Greetings,

Last I heard from reading Trainorders was that the 765 crew was passing along their regrets about NOT being in attendance at Steamfestival. They said there was some delay in manufacturing some parts and they didn't want to compromise the work. So as of right now NO 765.

Who owns the 765?

I have quite a few pictures of this nice looking locomotive pulling excursion trains.

Thanks!
