Many, many, many millions!
and could you run on any RR tracks?
Similar to steam locomotives, plus the massive liability insurance requirements, I doubt any class 1 railroad would allow it to operate.
Like the confederate Air Force restores and flys old military aircraft, could a group do that with a train? (I know they were forced to change the name to commemorative Air Force, but I'm not PC)
The big difference is, the Commemorative Air Force does NOT really need permission to fly their aircraft in the earth's atmosphere.
