Wouldn't this mean steam on (cue music) DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH... CSX? If CSX is open to this, it would mean 90% of the tripe I have read on the Internet the past 3 days is, well, tripe. Rob |

Boy, do I hate being right all the time. Great news, even if it's not realized as of yet. Good luck, Ross Rowland. Can I get a cab ride? |

Paging Mr. Rowland, Paging Mr. Rowland, confirmation is needed on C&O 614! 614 DOES have roller bearings... |

Last commercially built 4-8-4 in the U. S. seems to continually get translated into "last steam locomotive built in U. S." by the mainstream media all the time. |

Here is another, more detailed article: http://www.wvgazette.com/News/201006160 ... uild=cache The new offerings may eventually include running a $15 million train, the Greenbrier Express, between White Sulphur Springs and Lexington, Greenbrier owner Jim Justice said Wednesday. Best of luck to all involved! /Mitch |

There was some news about a Greenbrier related train, maybe a year ago (here?). |

Whatever the case, it sure would be nice for 614 to be moved to a better home. I see it every day I work, and the big "Greenbrier" class engine is turning green. |

ADM sez: Brought to you by the same folks that brought you the 21st Century Limited and the Yellow Ribbon Express........... [fingers strum]" And 759, and 2101, and 614, and the GSCL and Chessie Safety Express and B&O 150th Train. The man has a track record that all in all has been pretty cool. Stop strummin' yer fingers and keep 'em crossed. OR, maybe lift a finger to help. No, not THAT one. Howard P. Red 'n White Polkadot Hat, NJ |

[fingers strum] OK, well then, show us YOUR list of accomplishments. Well, I didn't propose--and stir up expectations for--the YRE or the 21st Century Limited. Or, for that matter, American Coal Enterprises and "new steam." I did, however, help save three British diesel locomotives and a PRR/PC Metroliner, and contributed to the Railroaders Memorial Museum. I'll promise more when I have more money to throw about. And I'll help when there's a concrete way I *can* help. It's not like the Biegerts and/or Xanterra needed much of our help for the Grand Canyon RR, or Strasburg RR help from volunteers for their 50-year history, and any "$15 million" train project involving the Greenbrier Resort sure sounds a lot more like a for-profit enterprise like the American Orient Express or the Alaska RR than it does, say, Steamtown or EBT or Jamestown/Sierra. |
