[net.railroad] SteamExpo

Does anyone out there have CURRENT information about SteamExpo to be held
this summer at the worlds fair in Vancouver?  It seems like every day I hear
that such and such a locomotive won't make it after all.  The current list
of locomotives that were supposed to go but that aren't includes 765, 611,
8444, 4449.  Can anyone tell me I have wrong information?  If not, what is
causing the massive defection from what was supposed to be THE rail event of
the year?

Chuck,
    Does your question mean that the listed posted about a week
ago reprinted from Trainmaster is already obsolete?  I thought
that it was "current".

I don't have it yet, but I expect to.  I called the Worlds Fair info
number; they gave me the address of Steamexpo headquarters.  Seems that
if you send them $6, they give you a subscription to a magazine which
details the current state of the event.  Apparently, they expect a bunch
of last minute changes or they wouldn't go to the trouble of putting out
a magazine.  I haven't gotten anything yet, but when it shows up, I will
post some of the info.
