It might not be much but I remember the CSXT used a steam engine in commercial business use in 1986....1986? Yeah 1986. I was on a local railfan trip around Atlanta when the train stopped. The real crew uncoupled the 4-6-2 and used it to spot a boxcar at a loading dock some distance from where we waited. After they dropped off the boxcar they came back and resumed our trip. Now spotting that car was for real commercial use, wasn't it? ODD-D
