Will There EVER a Steam Locomotive Run Through & Stop in Louisville, KY!!!!!

400BillOGR Forum Member

I live in southern IN. My parents farm (Dad's now 90) runs along The Southern Railroad. I remember 4501 running by when I was a kid and would go nuts seeing it. And we have a nice trestle in Georgetown, IN. I haven't seen a steam loco pass in a good 35 years. And the only two steamers I remember in Louisville, KY was the Freedom Train just passing through in 1976, and I did get to see the Challenger at Louisville's Osborn Yard quite a long time ago. I remember my friend had a very "expensive" VHS Camcorder. So that should date that one.

Anything coming my way? I wouldn't want to miss it. I'm sure the news would put a "10 second story ended with a yawn". (so sad).

I just thought I'd try here. I'dmmore on the tinplate train forum. My wife actually has never seen a steam locomotive steamed up.
