Yes, the 3985 may not be the equal of the 1238. However, the people who own
the 3985 have a steam program, and the money, but not the desire to restore her
to the rails. A dad blasted shame, IMO. There are a lot of steam locomotives I'd like
to see restored, and running, such as the C&O 614. Heck, for that matter, build a new NYC Hudson, one of the most handsome steam locos ever built. But that's just dreaming.
This isn't dreaming! Come on UP, do the right thing..restore 3985 to operation once more.
