Help Twice???
I saw a post that the PM 1225 is still in the shop and not running the North Pole Express. Also does anybody have a detailed map of the route of that run. Any help I'd be grateful. Thanks

Engine is definitely up and running or i'm seeing things.
Crew reports that the engine is firing better and consuming less fuel than previous years if i remember correctly. Aside from the normal headaches of steam locomotives what i hear from the crew is all good.

Rule #1: BerkshireKid is God. Rule #2: God is always right. Rule #3: If you think you may actually be right refer to Rules #1 & #2.

That's a big Roger! Exercising the lungs now as we speak. You might luck out though, I'm not sure if I'll be running the steamer this weekend. Might be playing Conductor, but you might have the guy who looks just like "Steamer" running the engine. Just not sure, we haven't finalized the crew schedule yet. We might jockey it around just to break up the routine a little.
I used to get paid for doing what all of you like to watch!
