It's amazing to me how cannibalistic the steam and railfan community can be towards it own. Better yet, 95% of the people on the forum haven't even met Ed Dickens and some will still insist on essentially stating they wouldn't relieve themselves on him if he was on fire. Remember folks, there are two sides to every story and most of the time (in my experience) the truth lands somewhere in between so...1) Don't believe everything you read on the internet and 2) Don't believe everything you don't believe on the internet.
Back to the topic, I'm very glad to see a UP 4000 running and I looking forward to seeing what her plans are for 2020. She's a wonderful ambassador for steam preservation and to say otherwise is living in denial.
