One thing I like about the steam loco is, it will run on anything that will boil water, wood, <br />coal, oil, uranium, or whatever. The SP's 4449 & SP&S 700 are oil burners and according to the 4449's engineeer it is as easy to operate as a diesil/electric loco. <br />And a person I read about on his own website fulfilled his dream of operating a <br />steam loco. It was the SP&S 700 4 8 4 northen type loco running on the MRL and he <br />seamed to enjoy every moment of it. personally I am glad he got to fullfill his dream, <br />been meaning to write to him but haven't yet. You may know him, he is an engineer <br />out of Sherridon Wyoming on the BNSF, Witch to me is still just the good ol' Burlington <br />Northern becaus it's first name is Burlington Northern and Santa Fe is just along for <br />the ride. The deep roots grow out of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, <br />hence the GN orange and NP green. (long live memories of the 2 8 8 4 Yellowstones <br />and 4 8 4 Northens. The NP envented both and a 4 8 4 by any other name is still a <br />NORTHERN.
