Nobody posted about this yet, so I thought I would. They are actually acquiring two steam locomotives from Michigan and Colorado, a GTW 4-6-2 and a former LS&I/Grand Canyon/Rio Grande Scenic 2-8-0. They want steam to run within 1-2 years. This will be a big boost for the railroad as they have to compete with other nearby steam operations like Reading and Northern and Strasburg. They are a first class operation with beautifully restored heavyweight steel coaches, dining car, open air car with roof, and caboose painted in PRR. They are currently using a GP-9 painted for Colebrookdale.

Both the steam engines are from Michigan.  LS&I stands for Lake Superior & Ishpeming, an iron ore hauler that still is in business.  They are noted for being one of the last operators of steam.  About 10 of their locos still exist.
