If a trip could be arranged to California it would likely be to Northern California to Sacramento and not down to southern California. It would cover the same route the 4449 did for Railfair 1999 at the California State Railroad Museum. Issue is cost of insurance and gathering the cars that would be on the train to make that trip, would be very expensive.... but is doable. May be a market for the trip as it would be the first steam powered passenger excursion over the high line in many years. (Not sure if there was ever one back in the WP or GN days.) Never say never, as trips are a go they will be announced. Wherever she runs in 2017, buy a ticket or make a donation and support mainline steam!! Stay tuned.....
