There was plenty of "fuzz" around when it came to saving N&W 173...still alive in Roanoke back in '80. Responsibility is a two way street...but when it's all over, the last US Train Master, the FM switcher, the RS1, and now, 4450 are gone. Lotsa luck saving anything in retrospect. You'd think the fanbase, especially the more serious ones, would have woken up when the last NYCS Hudson bought the farm....but no!
Too bad the Brits can do this just a wee bit better than us.
