    The East Coast Mainline is called the racetrack because it is largely straight and has traditionally had the fastest trains in the UK - Andy

    @@1940limited We owe our regular mainline use to the system of rail operation in the UK. The network is state owned and any private company (with the required safety standards) can pay to operate a train on the system. Sadly, our new government intends to nationalise the whole rail system. This could lead to far fewer steam workings - but I hope not! - Andy

    @@AndyDandanFisherSteam Many of the Class 1s in the USA don't want excursions with vintage equipment running on their tracks. There's the risk of a breakdown snarling up the line and insurance considerations. I hope they don't nationalize your railroads. I'm sure the private owners do a much better job of running things than government will do.
