This year there is probably zero mainline excursions because of the Amtrak ban as well as an NS ban because NS ended support for excursions. I guess the bean counters had their way, excursions are too much of a risk for class 1’s and Amtrak who are trying to cut costs. The RBMN excursions especially the ones on the Lehigh Division are sort of on a main line, the ex-Lehigh Valley and CNJ routes combined.
