My contact tells me that they do not know what the schedule is yet, but they should have a good idea by mid-October. I sure hope to be there!

Earlier this summer I was told that the two diesel engines will have to be rendered unusable to get the grant for the new engines. The hope was to put part of them on display somehow.

The Citizen article from July 16th stated:

"Starting in August, the Mount also plans to have tours of the engine room to allow visitors a last look at the 63-year-old engines before their replacement. A film of the engine's history is also in the works for showing to Mount guests."

Did anyone notice if this was happening during FF?

Cool pictures Bizer, thanks for sharing them with us!
