I think it's great, I was just surprised that this move seems to have gotten more hype than the 4449 trips to Wishram. MRSR has done this before, and hopefully they'll do it again.

As for the distance. #70 puts about 45 miles per day in on the regular weekend runs, plus more if the train goes back to the shop, so 65 miles shouldn't be too difficult.
