Did anyone else notice the 2012 passenger schedule has just one round trip per operating day? Guess the second trip is yet another victim of the rising cost of fuel (liquid and solid). Also, no double-header with #6 this year. The policy of a free ride for the 50th walk-up passenger of each day is a nice way to celebrate 50 years of steam excursions, without putting a huge dent in the bank account. I'd been hoping for a bigger celebration, but understand there's a limit to both time and money. A larger party may have helped homefront negotiations for minor repairs to my 50 year old Renault - "but they're celebrating 1962, dear, I should really take the Dauphine down there." So it goes. Will have to stay overnight to continue our tradition of riding and chasing.
