I have exepected them to buy #261 ever since the price dropped from $800,000 to $225,000.

My bet would land about 15 feet straight west of 2903 (track 94, not track 93).

OK Steve, It is now 8:12 AM here in the Philippines, Saturday, May 8th, national train day...........so what's the news? I think it's only fair you send me a private e-mail across the International Date Line and let me know what you are up to. Otherwise i will be the LAST person in the world to know. Just kidding, good luck on whatever you are up to, and thanks for giving me some great memories of riding behind 261 from Chicago to Galesburg while i still was in the USA.

In Chicago? Maybe he's going to modernize with the Pioneer Zephyr, now at the Museum of Science & Industry.

Actually, beside being just this side of impossible,,

Moving from the 261 to the Zephyr wouldn't be modernizing, it would actually be a retro move,, the Zephyr is 10 years younger than the 261 !

It'd be kinda hard to take it out of the indoor parking garage!

Though... the Flying Yankee could use some help.

John,
I think you meant to say that the PZ is ten years OLDER than 261.

Of course that's what I meant,, I was just checking to see how many people pay attention to anything I post :-)

Thanks for catching my dyslexia moment !
