Ever since that Southern Pacific 2-8-2 group from down in New Orleans area, caused a big mess while out on the KCS (nobody was paying close attention in the cab, and upon topping a grade the low water caused a few "drop plugs" to blow-out and extinguish the oil fire. Big FRA investigation over THAT), I'm sure it will be a cold day in you-know-where before the current KCS management allows a functional steam locomotive out on THEIR railroad again.
