GCRy. is 64 miles w/ maximum 3% grades. #4960 is a 2-8-2 and is my favorite stream locomotive of all time. former LS&I #18 was recently retired as it need to be rebuilt. LS&I #29 is a larger 2-8-0 than #18 and is operational. As far as i know the ONLY diesels are ALCO FPA-4's and FPB-4's and a GP7. The LS&I engines when rebuilt (by GCRy.) were designed to run 35-40m.p.h. 4960 can go over 70m.p.h. but i'm sure GC never runs it that fast.
