About the 765 trips over the viaduct that didn't happen because CP said NO, is that directly related to CP's new policy toward steam excursions which is NO with NO exceptions because boss Hunter Harrison hates steam and wants nothing to do with it on his railroad? Just like CSX's policy? I don't see them inviting you to run the New River train or trips out of Baltimore and Philly on the old B&O. They want nothing to do with railfan trips either. If NS had owned the ex-DL&W line at the time the trips with 765 would have happened. A shame, because now NS ended its contract with the FWRHS so a makeup excursion will be impossible now. There very well might be no more opportunities to ride the Viaduct line from Steamtown if Steamtown can't get permission from NS to run their trains on that line. The last public trips were before Harrison became CEO of CP. The previous CP CEO was steam friendly. The 3254 trips sold out quickly the few times they ran them. If Hunter becomes CEO of NS you can say bye bye 611 trips, too.
