Hot Water, how many years now has your personal vendetta against Ed Dickens been going on? Frantically attempting to discredit everything the man, and the steam locomotive restoration shop he runs, does ... often with innuendos and mistruths. Let it go.
Bob Krieger, Union Pacific Historical Society officer and former UP Steam Shop member, posted that they were at least talking about a trip to New Orleans at the end of the summer.
@Mike D posted:Where is this info posted? I will try my best to get down there if this is true.
Bob posted it on another railroading message board, and that's the extent of his post. The UP steam shop has a section on UP's website, and also has a Facebook page, which will have the latest word right from Ed Dickens and UP.
I'm sure you know that Bob was one of the guys that brought UP 3985 back to life right from the beginning, and ran her. He is a wealth of unbiased information, and always willing to share it. A super nice guy. Model railroader, too ... Sherman Hill Model Railroad Club.
I wish the environment was different, and Class I railroads would just let these steam engines run around the country some, with proper precautions. It's a shame for them to sit idle. I was just watching videos of very cool NKP 765 rounding Horseshoe Curve. I'd like to see more of that stuff. (Maybe lose the diesels ... just for the ascent around the curve 
)
