LAST EDITED ON Jun-14-02 AT 02:09 AM (EDT)Why put an operating steamer out of service? Why not sell it or run it like every once in a while? I don't get it. The U.S. doesn't have enough operating steamers as it is! Why make one less steamer huh?-Zach

Well, for you Santa Fe steam fans, guess what. I have heard a small rumor that ATSF 3751 maybe getting FRA permission to pull some BNSF Employee Specials in the future. I don't really believe this but anything could be true. Also, this year the same engine is going to Arizona and running on the Grand Canyon Railway sometime in the upcoming months. So maybe there is some good coming out of all this steam retirements.Austin S.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-14-02 AT 11:44 AM (EDT)BNSF DID NOT stuff and mount her. The nations insurance companies did. SLSTA probably couldn't justify the increased costs. Adam- I don't think anything short of a HUGE donation is gonna "Save" the 1522. She doesn't need "saving" She's already saved--going to a museum for ALL to see. EDIT: which is better than a scrappers torch or the UP, isn't it?I mean, if UP got her, they'd patch the Frisco lettering with UP letters, and put wings in front of the herald on the front.
