3 locos in steam at one time in Essex, Connecticut
Author: LTCerny

Daily except Monday December 2 through 21 the Essex Steam Train on the Valley Railroad in Connecticut is running 90,minute trips at half-hour intervals.using 2-8-2's 90 and 3025 plus 2-8-0 97, as verified by recent youtube posts.

Is this the most intensive standard gauge steam operation in the US ?

Strasburg on occasion has 3 steam engines (89,90, 475 and even Thomas).  Not common but does happen.  Even tripleheaders.  Doesn't look all that good, but sounds great starting up.
