I would do it with my son (BC Rail King) but he is off to Vernon this summer for 6 weeks at the Army Cadet Camp and won't be done until the 17th of August. Hope it works out for you.
What kind of equipemnt are they using? I beleive they were planning a trip like this last year as well, but cancelled as there just wasn't enough time to advertise it However, that may have been something different! Happy Railroading! Dane
