Folks,
Over in the news section, I see the C&NW 8728 heavyweight baggage car has been retired from retail duty. I see that the car is not listed on my roster pages; I hope the car is going to be kept, as there are not a lot of heavyweight baggage cars around!

Nice to see 1630 in action. Having said that, what is the holdup with the Shay since the front end is reassembled and the shaker grate system is apparently installed? Is there a date for a steam test yet and if not how soon could we expect to see it steamed up? There have been no real updates since the end of March and I believe it is reasonable to ask at this point given the incredible progress that the steam team has made.
