No, I am right. Everything has gone to crap in this country. Mark my words: Southern Pacific 4449,NKP 765, N&W 611, etc. these locomotives will never ever get a chance to run on a class one main line again pulling an excursion because times have changed, and all the real railroaders are dead. Today’s mentality is everything is too big of a liability risk, and we are afraid of our own shadow. Oh, and don’t forget the greenies hate steam locomotives.
In addition, with precision scheduled railroading, the class one railroads can barely run their own trains. It is amazing how far we have fallen. So, in conclusion, it is time to put everything on display or cut it up.
