We are steaming up all 3 of our locomotives on the 15th and 16th. This means 20 will be hot a few days prior including Friday the 14th as we have a donor event that night and 20 will pull 1 excursion that night.
So if they come visit on the 13th or 14th they will likely get to see a hot engine or 3 on top of our other equipment and displays.
