I remember watching something like this about railfair 91 and thinking how I want to go to the next one. little did I know that they already had the last railfair in 99. :( They were also going to have a huge railfair in my town in baltimore! I was so excited! It crushed me when It was cannceled due to the rufe coallapsing. I wish they had one again with like the 611 and 3985 and 844 and 4466 and 4449 and 700 and 2472 and all of them! that will never happen again!

Something similar might happen when the Museum of Railroad Technology opens in Sacramento. It will be located in what use to be the old Southern Pacific rail yards and will be part of the CSRM. Expect a big party for that one. :D

Lucky, in a way that's how I made friends with Mark Bassett, the executive director of the Nevada Northern Railway, I was writing a book and I wanted info on the #40 and things just went uphill from there. What a great opportunity you had being able to drive her before they put her away for a while. If you got vids of her send them on over!

The B&O's William Mason Played "THE GENERAL" in disneys Great Loco Chase as she is the better of two and was on the winning side. Lol I'm just kidding. There both spectacular locomotives.

Oh okay, I always wondered which Locomotive played The General, hey is she still around? I hope they didn't scrap her way back when!

Holy crap, no one ... ( 1 week ago by Jsusfrk20)

Holy crap, no one ever told me that THAT was the same locomotive they used in Wild Wild West! Yeah I'm so going to watch the Great Locomotive Chase and then watch Wild Wild West after that! I loved doing that with #13 from Back to the Future, I had no idea that she was the Hooterville Cannonball until recently. Thanks for telling me that, when do they plan on running William Mason again? Hopefully soon for another movie or just another excursion! I'd love to see the real General run too!
