According to Dean, our Triennial Track Assignment Guru, there are only 23 spots remaining for STEAM locomotives! We have 80 steamers registered including an AC-10 “Cab Forward,” Challenger, Yellowstone, Big Womp, Skookum, and several large narrow gauge (2.5” -3.75” scale) locomotives. If you are interested in bringing your steamer, don’t delay! And remember, all steamers are required to be propane fired. #steamlocomotive #steamisalive #livesteamers #propaneandpropaneaccessories | Train Mountain
