PRR 3750 would have been a better candidate in the very beginning. However, 3750 would STILL have to be brought into compliance with CURRENT FRA regulations, i.e. the firebox would have be redesigned/replaced, or simply operate it at reduced boiler pressure.
If 3750 was restored then would it be so important if 1361 was restored as well or just preserved instead?
Too big of a "what if" scenario, in my opinion.
