<p>[quote user="blue streak 1"]</p> <p>Seems like a better location for a steamer get together might be at St. Louis at the RR museum. Does have a wye big enough for all. Turntable ?</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>All wrong.</p> <p>The museum only has a connection to the UP; UP is not steam-friendly except for their own. There is no wye at the museum, nor is there a turntable. The museum's trackage is extremely tight and full of equipment, so there'd be little room to maneuver. A quick look at the google maps view of the museum will show this.</p> <p>... and let's not mention the lack of fueling and water capabilities at that location.</p> <p> </p> <p>When the NRHS convention was held in St. Louis, it was at Union Station, under the good grace of UP. Even then it was a tight fit for all the locomotives.</p>
