P.P.S. Hi guys. I know that I am resurrecting a mostly dead subject. Still, given the Coronavirus pandemic and the impact it has had on all of our lives, I figure that should Shay No. 7 return to service sometime next year, it should give Roaring Camp some time to expand their engine house. It should also provide them with time to welcome both Climax No. 5 and West Side Shay No. 14 (should the deal between Roaring Camp and Rosa Ashby still be on by that point).
