Steam strains in Owosso, Mich.?

[nkp_174]

that there will probably be other steam events

Actually, there will probably be more locomotives at the same time.

They will not publish what they want to do...or are currently negotiating to make possible...so that way no one gets blamed if a specific locomotive can't make it. I do know that they are not done with possibly turning this into the most memorable steam event (in the east) since, probably the 1993 NRHS convention which had the UP 3985, the NKP 765, and the NKP 587....or maybe even St. Louis in 1990...the UP 844, N&W 1218, Frisco 1522, and Cotton Belt 819. (note that I did not mention the previous 1225-765 meeting).

At some point in the future...the 765 (ready), 587 (overhaul), and 763 (restoration) will all be operational...and Doyle hopes to bring is NKP Bluebird to the east...that'll be pretty exciting...but probably close to 10yrs out. Hopefully there'll be a party on the Ohio Central...
