I too applaud and appreciate all the hard work it takes to run one of these steam (or even diesel) tourist operations. I've been on many and watched the people come close to killing themselves to get the train down the track. They are an awesome force for us casual railroad fans.

That said, dows anyone here know enough of the economics of these things to analyze whether it's cost effective to simply add a couple of cars to a consist even if revenue passengers don't show and suffer a small operating loss, or is the loss too great to bear?
