It is 1472 operating days or 15 years, which ever comes first. An operating day is defined to be any time the boiler pressure is brought up over atmospheric.

Running weekends, specials, Engineers for a day etc., SVRy's No. 19 will reach the 15 year mark June 1, 2010. We plan some festivities, yet to be defined before the fire goes out. May will be open for EFDs and other specials.

We've received some seed money and folks are pursuing grants to get No. 19 overhauled for her Form 4. Donations accepted.

Come visit before the fire goes out.

Heisler No. 3 will take over the duties June 1.
