Steam trains are pretty much history here in Missouri, but that is because of high insurance costs and frivolous lawsuits. Sure is a shame though. Oh I am sure they can get the train on track for a special trip but who is going to pay 2 thousands dollars for a box car ride? It may be even more, I do not remember. The last and the first steam engine I saw was back in 2001 and 2003 for special runs was the Frisco 1522. What a sight to see. I am looking for that photo to post...
