I have to agree with the other poster that called CSRM on the carpet. The proof of this is how they DID NOT take care of the ATSF collection that WAS under cover in Albuquerque and Belen. Not only were or had been the Northern and Texas been under cover but also under steam and taken out monthly to be lubricated. Further the previous General Manager has admitted that CSRM took very poor care of the Santa Fe artifacts. A collection that contained some one of a kind items like M-190. The 9820 only needed a power assembly to be operational. Let's just bite the bullet here and admit that CSRM has eyes bigger than their abilities and a state that does not see the need to help them with the money to make their dreams happen. Have you ever looked in the "back yard" there in Sacramento as to all the rest of the stuff that is wide open to whatever vandals, vagrants, or railfans want to do to or with it. Andy
