Glorious! Glorious! The RBBB Circus train pulled by steam just as God and C.B. DeMille intended! The only thing missing is Charlton Heston and Betty Hutton (God rest their souls!) leaning and waving out of the cab windows. Thanks so much for the posting. By the way, I like the Sam Adams quote, it's true, and you have to give ol' Sam credit, he stuck his neck waaaaaay out when few others were ready to. But while Sam Adams was a good one for overthrowing an established government, like most radicals he wasn't so good at setting up a new one. Cooler heads had to accomplish that mission.

Link to a photo of 3985 pulling the RBBB Circus train in OCT of 2010- From a short essay with photos on the website of WRRC, by its the CEO John E Rimmasch on their website.
This picture would have been a real plus in the Circus train issue of TRAINS!
3985 looks pretty good!
