Yup. to the enjoyment of thousands, while a few either continue whining about the same things or find new ways to whine about different aspects of the same old things. Which one sounds more fun?

But now there's a whole new wave of steam fans who didn't even get to see the Steve Lee era of excursions. Should they not be excited about an increasingly rare mainline steam trip because it was way better 70 years ago? Posted from Android Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/19/23 09:32 by A-1.

If they ran 844, I'm sure just about everyone that's new to this would be excited, too.

As many times as I've been on the UP main line between Cheyenne, WY and Omaha, NE, I must admit that I can't recall either of those two towns. Where in Nebraska is "Albin and LaGrange"?
