TRIGGERED are we....

If it makes any difference 5 out of 6 of the TEY employees that piloted the 4014 while it was here in SoCal would not do it again. I have spoken with each one of them, right from the horses mouth. By the way they don't call the crews for the circus off the pool board they are hand picked by the managers. As a side note you have to work the locomotive in order to have a steam train, having the helpers in run 7 on the hill and 3-4 on the flats is not a steam train. Here's another first hand account Ed could not pull the train out of the yard at Yermo which is flat without the helpers pushing him out, I was there to witness it. 35-40mph across the flats top speed, again first hand account as well as 32000 gallons of water used on each trip with a locomotive that wasn't being used. Now put your fingers in your ears and yell really loud as to not hear any of this. Jack could give a lot of first hand info if your willing to listen.
