    RIP William. Your intelligence with the C&O will always be the fallen flag never forgotten.
    Specifically William Francis Howes Jr.

    Class 1's today, except for UP only care about the bottom line and shareholders and their stock performance. NS did host steam excursions again from Sept. 2011-May 2017. You can ride behind T-1 #2102 at the Reading and Northern again. The #2101 is at the B&O museum in Baltimore and is painted in the AFT scheme. CSX hosted steam excursions like on the New River Train through 1994 then was anti-steam for a long while. Now, they are more willing to tow steam locomotives that need moving on their own wheels like what they did with the C&O 2716 in Kentucky. The newly merged CPKC will run their Empress 4-6-4 from Calgary to Mexico City next April with stops for the public to view it, no excursions.

      The full song in proper quality was released by Semaphore Records in 1977. The singer was Mary Martin. It can be heard here:

      Unfortunately this was before video tape equipment became widely available. It was also very expensive for several years.
