The Frisco Decapod should be operating again at IRM this summer, after a lapse of several years, so let's all try to spread the word. The Steam Dept. has published a tentative schedule of when the 1630 is planned to operate. This is not a guarantee that the locomotive will run on these days, of course; if issues arise, the schedule will have to be changed. People planning to drive long distances to see steam should call IRM at 815-923-4391 to check for last-minute changes.
