[CBQ] Grand Canyon Steam finished

[John Lewis <CBQJohn@msn.com>]

Noticed on another internet site (trainorders.com) that the Grand Canyon 
Railway has pulled the plug on steam operations, laying off in excess of 20 
employees.Relevance to this list is that the GCRR is the home to the only 
operating Q steamer, the 4960.  Although the engine does not look like it did 
when in service on the Q, I had the honor of seeing her in operation in 2003 
(along with John Jacobs) .... I was able to stand alongside the 4960, close my 
eyes and imagine what it must have been like back in the day.Here is hoping 
that the 4960 and the other steamers find a good home. Regards,John
