Let me explain it with more detail:
Norfolk Southern and the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM), located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, have been running mainline excursions behind the TVRM's Southern #630, a 2-8-0 that's over 100 years old. On June 7th, they will be running a mainline excursion that celebrates the 40th anniversary of when the Southern Railway allowed steam to return to their rails. This led to almost 30 years of steam-powered mainline excursions. The basic purpose of this thread is to see if I'm not going to be the only person on the forums that will be on the train that day. I will go ahead and say that I've purchased two tickets (one for me and one for my Dad) to the basic 'Coach' class, which means that we'll be in modern passenger cars. If you want to go ahead and post that you'll be onboard, go ahead, it's up to you.

Let me add on more info:
The reason for this thread is because, instead of talking to someone on the forums, I'd like to meet them in person. If you're planning to be on the train, you can post your reply here, or just PM me.
