That is sooooooo cool. Man that is crapload of Seafoam blowing out of that engine! When I worked at Flemington, there was a steam engine you could ride on and I think there still is one that also runs around New Hope. Do they give rides on this engine?

The engineer said it's not that much anymore due to the insurance company raising the cost, but he said it will run once this summer as a passenger train from Denver to Cheyenne and back. I'm really thinking about saving up for it. Here's a link;

The 60' time was like two minutes lol It takes a while for them to get moving, but the engineer said she'll cruise at 75mph like a Rolls-Royce

The New Hope & Ivyland still runs regularly.
The Black River & Western in Flemington still does operate passenger excursions as well as frieght, but the steam engine # 60 has been taken apart to be rebuilt and they ran out of money.
