What you have said about the three-truck Shays' ability to pull more cars than the two-truck engines is true. I believe the lease-purchase agreement is still on Roaring Camp's mind and will eventually happen despite COVID-19 bringing the world to a standstill in 2020. Roaring Camp has some bigger plans, but that's all I will say for now.
