I see an engine is being steamed up this morning. Is this just testing?

Maybe we will get to see her do some yard work and move some of the rolling stock around in the yard :grin:

you can say that again. I think they are just testing the boiler to make sure it can hold pressure and making other adjustments to get ready for the tourist season.

Hey gents, since you're enjoying the cameras, please considering putting some change in the tip jar. These things ain't cheap.

Thank you.

It's not my place to give out those figures, but I will say that it's not cheap. There's a reason you don't see cameras like this on every tourist railroad in the country. If everyone will give a few dollars now and then, it'll help a great deal.

I think it is important to also point out that the cameras were originally paid for solely by individual donations which were made with the express purpose of the donation being the web cams.
