They made pretty decent income when it was down for a while. Plus people always seemed to complain that it got their clothing dirty and some other nonsense when it did run, though, that could be just the way it is being run with the current management as I don't seem to recall any complaints when it was operated with a better crew, but that may be just it, the crew was better at operating & managing the the steam pressure.
Swirk is definitely always in the cab, doesn't mean he knows how to operate it efficiently and properly.
