I just read this on the LCCA site regarding the July 21st trip. Read the article here.

Hoping to be proved wrong, but there may be a bad moon on the rise...
this statement raised all kinds of red flags in my opinion.
"
Although the 765 has moved over these rails before [the most recent being in
2011], the reason given by a G&W VP for Transportation is that safety is
their major concern. In his comments, he expressed that G&W is not
comfortable with passengers, and certainly not comfortable with a steam
locomotive pulling them over the intended route which is felt to be satisfactory
for freight but not for passengers."
would loved to have been a fly on the wall to hear the real reason.

Another case of "Paranoia will destroy ya!".
Well, after all, it's the G&W's railroad, they can allow or not allow to run what they want.

That is exactly correct.
