They do run excursions and have special events. They also run excursions in conjuction with the Bluewater Chapter of the NRHS. The BIG event that is still to come, is Trainfest 2009 (July) which is going to be awesome due to the NKP 765 coming from Indiana to join the 1225. The link for the Trainfest is here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.trainfestival2009.com/">http://www.trainfestival2009.com/</a><!-- m -->
Tickets are already on sale for the event. The PM 1225 will run an excursion up on Saturday and then the NKP 765 will run one on Sunday of that weekend. I hope to be there...
Thanks for this info and this link. It looks like it will be an awesome event!
