Only two are operable currently apparently.
I'm somewhat surprised that so many still exist. Most US steam locos were cut up for scrap very early on after they were retired from service.

We have alot of preserved steam railways and they even run on the mainline as well.There is something magical about these living beasts. http://www.nymr.co.uk/ Mind you i do have a soft spot for the diesels as i was initially trained on those 30 years ago and ironically they are rarer now than steam locos.

That 4-6-4T at the end is an interesting beast. We did not operate many tank locos over here so to see one on a passenger train always catches me off balance.
In American practice tank engines were mostly used for switching (shunting), because of their small overall length and the short ranges they typically covered. Those Gresely Pacifics are some of the most beautiful locomtives made anywhere.

I guess the trains aren't really that heavy over here but the track speed i suspect is slow as well.
The gradients really make those trains work hard going up them, [ makes life interesting when the rails are slippery ] but they get a chance to rattle on the way back.

For all train lovers.
I found this extremely watchable. The full version of the Michael Palin Episode of 'Great Railway Journeys of the World' from a good few years ago (BBC TV).
