I thank NS for allowing steam again and for allowing you guys (Fort Wayne) to come to PA three different years. Now it seems that NS is allowing only the 611 to run excursions. Since NS is still allowing ferry moves for 765, would a return visit to Steamtown be possible? And Steamtown has the Delaware Lackawanna to Water Gap to run excursions on. But, since NS owns the line from Sunbury to NY state, would they allow the 765 to run to Binghamton and back with an excursion train? The trip was cancelled in 2015 due to CP, they didn't want it so they made the insurance so high that the sponsoring group threw in the towel and cancelled the trips. Hunter Harrison was head of CP then and he is a big pain in the a, he hates steam and won't allow it on his railroad. The line was transferred to NS a week after the excursions were to happen. You were lucky that CP let you ferry to Allentown (well to Dupont on their rails then and RBMN and NS to Allentown) by putting the DLW heritage unit up front.
