Bad for us train nuts, but good to hear business is up.

Business first.
Yes, the business comes first.
The good news is that NS have steam engines on contract they can actually run!
As for 765 this fall, I highly recommend the Cuyahoga Valley trips. Although they are short, you can sit in an open window car and hear that beautiful Lima shot-gun exhaust! This is one of the few places that you can still ride in an open-window car. They also include a photo run-by!
Yep...we're going back to my "home road" the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
We'll run there the first two weekends in September. Tickets are on sale now.

CSX has no heritage or steam programs because the current regime in charge there sees no value in them.
This is not something new at CSX. Mike Ward and his staff simply do not share the appreciation for history in the same way as the corporate officers at Norfolk Southern do.
Different strokes for different folks...

Odd, considering the old B&O is part of the CSX
What does the B&O have to do with anything here, other than it is part of CSX?
I don't understand the context of your comment.

The first railroad in the USA is part of CSX. One would think they could tie that in with their, "How tomorrow moves,' ad program. Maybe not a steam program, or special locomotives, but to show they were "moving tomorrow" from the beginning of the B&O. CSX has something no other railroad in the US has, and one would think they would use that every so often.
