Absolutely, Steve!!

Nothing will be finalized for quite some time - right now we're just figuring out what potential riders want, and what they're willing to pay for what we hope will be a really unique and historically pretty accurate excursion. It looks like there'll be a new management company next year, so even barring unforeseen problems with a locomotive (or two), things will be up in the air for quite some time.

OTOH, hopefully #463 will be back next year.  Even with only 3/4 the pull of a K-36, she should have plenty of power to pull a regular train (or a Moonlight Dinner Train on July 2 - hint, hint) from Antonito to Osier and return.
