Where do you get the idea that environmental concerns would be one of the factos leading to a ban on steam locomotives. I've been involved with serveral environmental groups and NOT ONE has ever expressed a desire to ban steam locomotives. A few steam locomotives operating in tourist railroads or out on the main line just is not on the national environmental community's radar screen. On the contrary, the Sierra Club once had an event on the Grand Canyon Railway when it was still run steam.
