The locomotive has also been in a few movies since 2010’s ‘True Grit’, namely ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’.

This is great news! I rode this train many times several years ago and was saddened when I found it discontinued upon a visit one day a few years back. I can’t wait to get on board and do my part to support this nice little railroad.
