Does anyone have any info on whether the NKP 765 "Throttle Time" opportunity offered
in previous years will again be offered this year? Contacted FWRHS but no word back as yet---

After Eliot's run, I would be surprised if they did it again! 
The 765 herself may fight back if it see's Ole' Scrapiron near...
We will not be offering any throttle any time soon.
Throttle time requires a waiver from the FRA for the railroad the locomotive will be operated on. The only railroad in our part of the country with such an exemption is the Chesapeake & Indiana, where we went on the ground due to bad ties and wide gauge. (It was not "Scrap Iron's" fault!) We're not going there again any time soon.
Besides, we will be very busy with Norfolk Southern again this year.
