All very good points, oibu. They needed something with a big "WOW" factor, and the steamer did have that, especially for folks who aren't hung up on historical accuracy or rivet-counting.
The day that I took a ride on the B&ML, there were about 40 people on the train. I was the only rail enthusiast there. The other 39 were people who just wanted to take a scenic train ride through the Maine woods.
