The Royal Hudson Steam Engine (4-6-4) had a regular operating schedule for a tourist train in the spring, summer and fall right up into the late 1990s. (98 or 99) <br />It ran on BCRail lines from North Vancouver to Squamish five to seven days a week. It was a day trip to Squamish and back. <br /> <br />I do believe the Royal Hudson was the last steam engine to run on a regular operating scedule on a class one railway in North America. <br /> <br />Sad to say that the Royal Hudson is no longer in operation because of maintenance problems. <br /> <br />The Royal Hudson is currently being restored to operating condition by the West Coast Railway Association located in Squamish, BC. <br /> <br />You can take a look at some great pictures here: <br />http://www.wcra.org/hudson/
