Steam & Excursion > 765 ALIVE!!!!Date: 03/25/06 14:52 765 ALIVE!!!! Author: ohiotom The 765 RAN today, completing a trial/beakin/shakedown trip from Ft Wayne to Van Wert Ohio and back on the CF&E. All went well.
OT   Date: 03/25/06 15:19 Re: 765 ALIVE!!!! Author: nycman Glad to hear that this fine locomotive has had her break-in run following what amounted to a total rebuild. Sure hope she gets to run an excursion or two this year. The folks who put in so much time and effort to overhaul her deserve to see her run on the main again.

Is all of RailAmerica this steam friendly? Date: 03/26/06 09:48 Re: 765 ALIVE!!!! Author: ctjacks >
> Is all of RailAmerica this steam friendly? Do you mean for light engine moves like this or for public trips? RailAmerica is good about allowing light moves like this, but public trips are questionable. On RA-owned lines they will probably require a $25M liability insurance policy, and on the lines they lease from CSX (such as this one) CSX has imposed a $500M liability insurance requirement. Chris.

I'm glad RailAmerica took the time to let her run and gain some good Public Relations for their efforts!
