No, it did not.

We have had a little bad news, the steam locomotive "Eureka" won't be a part of our Christmas Celebration this year. The 141 year old locomotive has been undergoing her 15 year Federal boiler inspection and certification. The good news is that she is in great shape, and nearly done, and so will be back in service soon, the bad news is that the last inspection won't be done in time for this year's Santa Trains.

The event was a great success. I had planned to go up on the middle weekend and see the Eureka operate on its 3' gauge track. I went up there anyway to see the Christmas trains operate and visit some other museums in the area. The Museum's ex-UP GP30 #844 pulled the passenger trains and the trains were full.
