The 765 crew does not get any of the money collected at the Horseshoe Curve visitors center.
On Sunday afternoon FWRHS PR guy and 765 fireman Kelly Lynch and I chose to go to the curve to see the 765 go by. Even though we were in uniform and I specifially asked if the $20 fee also applied to locomotive crew, it still cost us $20 each for the privilege. The negative word-of-mouth from this bad business decision will do more harm to the museum than the benefit derived from the meager extra dollars they collected this weekend.
