Going with the "insurance card" huh? Doesn't Steamtown need insurance for those yard shuttles? Sounds like BS to me. |

What does Maine have to do with Steamtown operations, other than a Boston & Maine Pacific? LNER4472-NOSPAM-@bcpl.net |

It's perfectly real. That's Steamtown's press release. Sandy was just having fun at the expense of people like me who don't spell-check. eledbetter@rypn.org |

Interesting read. Since when does Steamtown operate on a "Class One" railroad? |

"Steam-powered passenger service, utilizing vintage equipment, is a high-risk business." Huh????? Any machinery can be high risk, if you operate it incorrectly or don't maintain it. Well maintained, safely operated equipment should do just fine. ! Is BS the party line now? |

No matter how much I tell my car insurance carrier that I am a good driver and that I've never been in an accident, my rates continue to edge up. This is not a new problem. Look at the doctors and malpractice insurance. Let's be civil, have a great day! Rick |

Lets be fair here, if a diesel engine blows you might get a nice fire and perhaps some flying metal at the extreme; if a steamer blows it is more or less a bomb going off. For all the talk of the Gettysburg incident one thing you don't here much is how "lucky" they were that nobody outside the engine was injured; it could have easily been much worse if the boiler had failed in a slightly different way. Add old cars with old brakes and old trucks and the risk is increased no matter how well maintained. No question insurance is out of control; but do the math, there is increased risk from a statistical point of view. > Huh????? > Any machinery can be high risk, if you > operate it incorrectly or don't maintain it. > Well maintained, safely operated equipment > should do just fine. ! > Is BS the party line now? |

I believe that as an arm of the United States Government tne NPS is self-insured. This covers any activities on their property. The insurance issue for excursions off of their own property is a contractural one which appears to result from requirements placed on the participating property owners by their insurance carriers.
