Just got word that this may be the last year for #4960 as her time will run out in September of 2011. Actually, June 30th, but the railroad got a waiver to run her up until September, 2011.
After then, it will be up to Xanterra to decide whether it's worth the investment to rebuild her for future operation. Your patronage (both scheduled runs and "extras") will benefit the steam program and the viability of continuing steam at the Grand Canyon.
A few tickets are still available (and necessary to make this trip a go)!
