One or two mishaps could be all it takes to shut down the remaining steam locomotives. Safety regulations and/or outrageous insurance premeums could mean the end of the publics chances to see them operate. That would be a loss, there is nothing like feeling a steam monster rumble past. <br /> <br />I am not voting, anything on rails is better than anything on rubber.
