Interesting. This is the first I’ve seen of the test. The EBT pages on Facebook have been dead quiet about it; both the Facebook group and the official pages. I imagine the official pages are not gonna say anything probably until someone catches a video of it running to Colgate grove on a test run. |

The EBT social media team is very clever about their posts. I am sure there will be a new teaser soon. Wesley |

Two weeks a contact told me to expect smoke within two weeks, test runs by the end of august if all goes well… I understand the hydro went well. Seems that step one took place, now it’s just a question on what stuff needs attention if anything and reassembly. |

The EBT folks have been mum when it comes to specifics about where the 16 project stands, so expect to find out that she's actually run after the fact. It appears as if they have concerns about repeating the scenarios that have plagued other restoration projects in the region, and I think their approach is a wise one. Note that several charter operators are chomping at the bit to schedule EBT photo events, but no one has announced a schedule or sold a single ticket. I think that is also wise. Clearly, progress is being made and it will happen when it happens. /Kevin Madore |

They are probably doing everything wrong. They need to post more updates so they experts on RYPN can examine and explain how they could be doing things better. How else will the people here get to flex their knowledge?! |

I'm certain that post was done with tongue firmly in cheek! And yes, what a great "teaser" video! |

I will say, that teaser video is a masterclass of "less is more". No hokey music or voiceover, just straight to the point. |

Judging from some social media posts I have seen, even the residents of Orbisonia/Rockhill Furnace were caught unaware: "Was that a steam whistle I/we heard???" |

It's a classic example of the old adage....." thems that are talkin don't know, thems that know ain't talkin". Or put another way......it'll be done....when it's done. Ross Rowland |
