One problem I see, is that there are no mainlines left to do this where you can run a purely steam hauled train. Today, most folks have to run trips under the Amtrak insurance umbrella, which usually means Amtrak equipment(read deisel), along. This sorta messes up the whole experience for me, but for folks who have the bucks to waste on stuff like this, they might not care!! Just another thing to think about. A UP trip like this would certainly be cool!!!
