Scrapiron Scher posted:Ia the UP "Steam Team" a UP budgeted and paid group or are they all/partially volunteer?
All paid, and no longer any volunteers for the souvenir car, as THAT has been eliminated.
Is there a completion schedule or yearly plan going forward?
NOT for the public.
Is there a publicity group within the UP that follows the progress and, in some fashion, uses the steam program for publicity purposes?
Sort of, but that is all handled internally
I ask these questions because I am so anxious to see this project come to a completion. I hope, one day, to see #3985,
NOT going to happen under the current management team.
#844, and #4014 all running or steamed up together for photos.
Such an event with 844 and 4014 might be difficult at best with the limited size of the current crew and no potential use of qualified outside contractors, as was done back prior to 2010.
