[quote user="Cheese"] <p>Its a shame.</p><p>The BNSF is very accomodating to the SP 4449, as well as the UP is for thier steamers (not really a fair point since they have a steam program).</p><p>I haven't read all the posts, so this has probably been said already, but have the considered running an excursion under Amtrak. The SBRHS does that with the 3751. </p><p>Trips to tourist lines should not be discounted either. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind hosting the 765 for a week or so. The GSMR has hosted Flagg Coal #75 and will do it again, so, why not the 765. </p><p>It dosen't nessecarily have to be the GSMR, I just used it as a point.</p><p>Its a shame the world is so money driven these days that a steam excursion is considered unethical.</p><p>Cheese</p>[/quote] The situation is somewhat different for #75, because it's trucked by road to and from different railroads, so it doesn't need rail transportation and doesn't pay like the 765 has to if it wants to go anywhere on a Class 1. Too bad the mega-excursion days of the 1980's had to go away, seems 765 ran nearly 2 big trips a year for a few years in a row back then.
