A knowledgeable train friend of mine says it is most likely just a rumor. The 1943 is not equipped with the proper cab signal box and to install it would be expensive. So If it were coming it would be number 2 locomotive. Also, the trip itself would be very expensive having to pay for a properly equipped locomotive and crew and lastly the time involved. Thus his belief is no it is not coming. Of course if it was coming to check out buying CSX then maybe.
