Trips include (3) meals, complimentary water and snacks, a brass tag souvenir and excusrion trip guide plus runbys at never before done locations with a steam locomotive. The trip will take around 11 hours. Hope to see you there!!!

Shay #6 was the last Shay ever built. The locomotive's commercial life was short, lasting only four years. #6 was then stored and finally donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Museum in Baltimore, MD, where it remained for 26 years.
