Where there is the will there is a way, the saying goes. What I find strange about the US steam scene is there appear to be no clubs. In the UK the Tornado project is being funded by thousands of railfans all donating £20 per month. They all think they belong to the 'club'. Why not do the same for the big boy? But look at the Challenger you have. They (UP) don't market it. I would come over from the UK to see and ride, but there are no dates, routes or ways to predict when it is going out. In the UK there are steam hauled trains every week on the mainline. Take a look at http://www.march.demon.co.uk/tours/trs01.htm. From this page and other sources every steam rail fan in the UK can go and ride or look throughout the year. The trips cost £50 each and keep the locos running. Why not the same in the US?
