It's 80 years old, but kept fully functional by dedicated steam loc nerds. It's definitely special.
Euchre
That is quite a mixed consist. Looked to me like a train headed for a museum/restoration facility.
They try and run the train on a bit of a senior route every year. Sometimes during the summer and most often during Christmas time.
This looks like one of the times they went out for a multi day journey and they borrowed sleeper cars for people. I'm not 100% sure though.

What’s the average service life of a train?
LurkerOfDarkness
Based on the frequency my countrys railways generally replace trains, it seems they want to keep them for about 30 years, though often ½
Extend it to 40-50 years, like when some italian company can't make a train that actually works but the locally built ones just go 20+ extra

Naw, they trespass, take unwanted pics of the workers without consent.
I have maybe 2 or 3 identifyable photos out of thousands. And I call in trespassers too
E34generation525i
Do workers have an expectation to privacy if they're out in public?
You like getting pictures taken if you without consent? While working?
Whether I like it or not is irrelevant if I'm working outside in a public place. That's why the Supreme Court ruled citizens can film cops.

Most US railways have a speed limit of 79 MPH on the straights. This is faster than most roadways.
Valkyyria
Really? Like 79mph is the maximum they are allowed?
Yes. We (North America) run much heavier and longer trains then anywhere else aside from maybe some lines in Australia.
Ah well I thought about pasanger trains mostly. Here in Germany the ICE is allowed up to 300km/h so about 186mph
iburnstuff
the regs get fucky past that. Some places have a speed limit of 90 so you'll have diesel locomotives *pushing* the train from the rear at 90
90 requires ATS and 4 quadrant gates. Past 90 requires grade separation.
Okay I have no idea what the last sentence means xD But 90 seems slow for such a huge country.
