What about CSX though, are they still against even towing a dead steam locomotive? But I heard 765 actually ran on CSX live during the moves to and from CVSR. Somewhere around Cleveland, Ohio. I’d like to know what CEO Foote’s stance on steam is since Hunter was so vehemently against steam. He sort of quietly killed CP’s steam program. What exactly though is NS against now? They still allow live steam moves, like with 611 and 765 but they no longer allow public excursions. Is it because of the liability insurance? NS no longer wants to pay for liability insurance and you can’t have public excursions without insurance. Or is it that they simply don’t want to bother with the hassles of excursions anymore and scheduling them around their freight trains as well as the liability of the general public on their property and all the foamers trackside? The 21st century program was a lot smaller than the 1982-1994 program with 611 as a part of it. Although the newer program did have a bunch of really long excursions over 300 miles round trip.
