Will the track at Strasburg be heavy enough to support the "J"? I remember an exhibit at the B&O Museum showing cross-sections of rail and the weight of the engines it would support.
Well, it's going so I would guess yes.

Well, they operate a 2-10-0 and a 4-8-0 daily so most likely yes. Also, don’t forget that a Pennsy M1, an L1 and a few others were pulled across the line to get them to the RRMPA. I’m sure if they can get a GG1 out and back, they can get a J in and out. I’m assuming she will be staying at Strasburg for the entire month? It would be nice if NS let her go up to Harrisburg to turn around on the wye and/or go across the Rockville Bridge!
