I'll be there. I'd be taking the boy on the Chigago-Owosso leg, if the logistics of getting a ride to/from home weren't such a pain in the ass.

That looks like some cool stuff. We took our kids on a nice steam locomotive tour when in Michigan last year. They loved it!

 

I may have to look into this too. Let me know if you decide to put together a trip. I'm game to get the families together.

That engine, as well as the 4-8-4 Berkshire already at Owosso, were built (in part) by mah grand pappy.

They don't huff steam, look/sound the same, nor do they weigh anywhere near 475,000lb (not including the tender). ;)
