Nice looking steamer.  Is it not able to run without the diesel behind it?

No, it can’t, Not with the grades on this line.  The 4960 is only rated for about seven or eight cars at GCR, and that’s before you factor in the full length dome.

Last time I was there, they ran steam to the rim on one train, and back on another. Captain
