Admirable? Hardly.

The locomotive in question is very rare. Only 60 were built and less than 10 still survive today. NONE of them have been preserved. In all likelihood, this was one of the last chances to do so. The unit is now scheduled to be scrapped.

It's no accident that the best, and most successful railroad museums have TRADED museum pieces to railroads or other museums in return for something else that better complements their collection. Other museums ought to wake up and see the value in doing so.
