Former US Army/White Pass & Yukon 2-8-2 MacArthur 192 "Klondike Katie" was at the head of the Dollywood Express for opening weekend 2024. To celebrate the start of the new season, Katie wore an old number plate dating back at least to the park's Silver Dollar City days, with parts of it possibly from all the way back to the park's first incarnation as Rebel Railroad.

![Philadelphia Transit November 2024
In mid-November 2024, I planned a trip up to Philadelphia, PA to see the historic last voyage of the SS United States as it was scheduled to be towed out to sea to become an artificial reef - only for the move to be cancelled at the last minute. It was too late to get a refund on my hotel room, so I made the best of it and went anyways to tour the city and see the various transit, maritime, and historic attractions in Americas first capitol. While there I got to ride on the PATCO Speedline which crosses the river from New Jersey, and the SEPTA [L] Market-Frankford Line, [G] Girard Avenue Trolley, [B] Broad Street Subway, and [T] Subway/Surface Trolley lines.
