Can you give us a general vicinity in which you would be interested? Here in Colorado we'll be getting visits from the UP steam program twice this summer (Cheyenne Frontier Days and Democratic National Convention). Additionally:

  • The Colorado Railroad Museum has several steam-ups planned for the summer
  • The Georgetown Loop Railroad and the San Luis and Rio Grande Railroad both have new steam toys for this season
  • Trains Unlimited Tours will have charter steam specials on several of the CO lines (SL&RG, C&TS, D&S, GLRR, etc.)
  • The Ski Train will be running on select weekends this summer between Denver and Winter Park

Beyond those special events, all of the tourist lines (including those listed above plus lines like the Manitou & Pikes Peak and Leadville, Colorado & Southern) will have normal schedules. The Moffat sub should have plenty of action through some amazing scenery. Cheyenne is a hop, skip and a jump away with lots and lots of rail action. Etc.

Wow...now I can't wait for summer to come!
