Hmmmm let's see, Steamrail is running a reasonable priced tour with wooden
cars and plenty of photostops AND double headed K and D3, over 4 whole days!
Prices around the $500 are, I believe, pretty good when you look at the
interstate equivelents where an RTM 2 day weekender in steel cars and a
diesel are around $300. Don't forget $50 goes to little Johnny and the tax
man.
