Thanks for the kind words about the videos. I spent a lot of time editing those.
The 3000's are nice because we can tear up the hill at track speed. I haven't run them much and they have dynamic transition or whatever it's called and that is a bit tricky to work with, but otherwise they're just big narrow gauge diesel engines. I do really miss running 90's and 101's all the time. They're good engines, I just wish the 100 had been saved as it was before it was sent out and eventually scrapped.
As far as the 69 I don't know of any plans to see it run again, and the 73 I guess will come back next year? We're only running trains to White Pass so anything extra like steam I don't think will happen this season, but I'm also just in the operating department so I'm not privy to those kinds of things.
