So there's been some discussion among the 'higher-ups' regarding running our steam, not only for the excursions, but also for hauling freight. We have already been doing some 'experimenting' on the Appalachian Southern with using our steam locomotives with the freight trains, normally to serve the industries along the line, while diesels handling coal trains from the mines. However, we have officially decided to try out having the first 'all-steam' railroad in about 40 years. Instead of using the readily available coal on the Appalachian Southern, we decided to at least start with the Atlantic Coast Railway. Instead of having to rely on a third-party to provide the coal for the locomotives, the coal instead comes from the coal mines on the Appalachian Southern. Plus because the grades aren't as steep, so the locomotives don't have to be as big as ones needed for the Appalachian Southern, which would require a 2-8-8-2 to handle a coal train, while it would require a 4-8-2 to handle the heaviest train on the Atlantic Coast Railway, which serves Hawkinsville, Whitfield and Hamilton River. There's another train that serves Pelican Bay only, along with the only industry at the interchange at Grand Junction, which normally would have a 2-8-0 or 2-8-2. For passenger trains, there's only the need for one 4-6-2 to handle the train over the entire route. Because of the short length of the railroad, there's only the need for one coaling tower and water tower, both at Pelican Bay, although there was the need for turntables at the end of the line at Hamilton River, the interchange at Grand Junction, and at the roundhouse at Pelican Bay, but those are already there for the excursions. When the first steam-powered freight train will run is yet to be determined.
