Steam on freights - How often?

How many times in the last year or so have railroads used steam locomotives to pull revenue freight? This would not include railfan trips or mechanical break-in runs, but rather using steam when nothing else was available that day.

So far, the only two that come to mind is the Yreka Western for a couple of days earlier this year, and recently on the San Luis & Rio Grande.

Any others?
