August 16 & 17,2003. Some tickets are still availabe for one of the few big steam trips this year. For more info: www.lakecentralrailtours.com
Sure wish I lived closer--would be there. For those of you who are going, check out the new souvenir T-shirt that the Steam Railroading Institute has for sale with both a side view and roster shot of the 1225. It's a winner.
Glad to hear of other big steam running. I went to the web site, and checked out that T-shirt Fitz mentioned. I see their turntable pit construction photo. I would love to see that entire process in photo sequences. Talk about truly unique! Boxcab E50
Ray- Glad to hear this. Sounds as though you have good knowledge of this organization? Do you know if the work will be finished this summer? Would you be able to post a note when it's done? And if photos can then be viewed? Boxcab E50 [ 06. August 2003, 23:55: Message edited by: BoxcabE50 ]
I'm pretty sure they plan on having it done before the end of the year. I'll post updates, and hopefully pics, when it is done.
Ray or anyone else riding or chasing the 1225 trip this weekend--please post some photos of this beauty. Thanks.
