<p>[quote user="JOSEPH the steam buff"]</p> <p>NS is steam friendly. and could help accomadate getting locomotives there. </p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>That's debatable. 21st Century Steam Program is officially over, and with it Southern 630 and 4501 excursions through NS. Now all they have is 611 (Which they required to have a new lead truck, by the way) and 765 (With a 35 year long good track record).</p> <p>Espeacially considering the stock market, the PTC deadline, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">and the CP soap opera</span> <strong>(CP has since dropped their efforts to merge with NS)</strong>, I wouldn't be suprised if this decade is the last for non-railroad owned steam excursions on Class 1 tracks. Not to say excusions won't happen, but they'll be run on shortlines, similar to R&N #425.</p>
