Good to see the update.
I must say though about a week ago in their update of the rebuild from their curator they said they are in "no rush" to push for a first steam up in late May and have it pulling excursions in June/July. Now they are promising a July 1st first public excursion?
Sorry to be a Negative Nancy, but I would hate to buy a ticket to be one of the first people to ride behind a C&O H6 and then find out it won't be pulling the train up the mountain. Just my opinion of course.

That is exactly why I'm going to wait a bit to buy tickets to ride. I remember a big up roar about one of the steam locomotives for the NS steam program not being ready to run, despite them selling tickets and later selling out the train and promising the steam engine. They had to run the train with NS diesels. This was maybe 5 years ago.
