Robert K posted:Why did Steamtown allow the vestibules open but not on the Bethlehem-Pittston excursion? Because that was operating partly on NS and Steamtown was not NS? I wonder since NS will still allow 765 to deadhead, could 765 return to Steamtown and maybe RBMN again? I’m sure they would sell lots of tickets on both railroads. RBMN could be Reading to Jim Thorpe or Jim Thorpe to Pittston. I saw on videos that the crew had the center door and small windows open while the train was moving. And the guy in white on the Dover Harbor he was standing at the rear vestibule with the top part of the door open. Were they allowed to do that?
I think the deadhead move takes 2 or 3 days, so that's one reason 765 is not likely to go that far East of New Haven, IN. Think about the huge pile of cash that move would take before it pulled an excursion. Then, the trip home. Never say never, but not very likely.
