Is there any occasional steam powered revenue freight operations out here in the west? Shortline tourist mixed train maybe? How bout a steam engine used as an emergency back up for the regularly used diezell for freight service?
It has been a long time since I walked up to a revenue freight car coupled to an operating steam locomotive. I’m struggling to think of any that I have seen since the ET&WNC in Elizabethton, TN in the 60’s back east.
Who has the scoop on something current?
