Re: A year without Phraudo Freights?

Maybe I missed something somewhere, but I thought 168 was supposed to be completed later this summer? Not that it means they'll go drag some phraud-o-freight (or rather phraud-o-passengers) around with it this year, but I was hopeful for something (even test runs) in the fall.
It does seem like a very light year after the SPNG18 trip didn't go. I literally don't have a single upcoming charter anywhere on my calendar at the moment, which is probably the first time I can say that in almost 15 years. That's honestly probably good - work is driving me nuts and making my life a bit unpredictable this summer. Maybe I'll go do some mainline railfanning for a while. Be good to get out of this narrow-minded rut I've been in for a decade now.
