What a beauty. I'd love to see this engine operate, but I never find out about it until I already have plans. 

I'm hoping to be able to afford both trips. But if I have to choose, it will be January! Anything to get out of the midwest to FL!! :) 

$400 for three days is pretty reasonable. I did the Trains trip back in January, and it was great. Getting ready to negotiate with the Household CEO about this one. Thanks for the link.

"Household CEO." Good one. Ain't that the truth!

Any mention of photo opportunities?

Yes I was very surprised they weren't charging more for January. 

According to the last email from their trainmaster this weekends trips are still on. The hard part? Getting a flight! MCO is closed until Friday pending inspections. MIA has flights but again, I'm sure they are the same as Orlando. I tried booking a one way car rental (I work there), and none of the major brands were doing one ways to Florida except Hertz which wanted about $800 for a standard car. Looks like this will be a no go for me. I hope the hurricane doesn't harm the railroad and people are able to enjoy their weekend.
