Railroads will never die unless someone develops an instant transporter, and I don't think we've seen anything come of th transport ideas in Star trek. Yes, the industry has become a more private, more big busness focused industry, that has become less attractive to the general public. I live in a town built by the B&O railroad, but if you ask someone around here what the most important transportation industry is, you'll hear tractor trailer from most people, and Most people haven't even been to the station. Hey, most people either don't know that Brunswick has a museum, or thinks the museum is in the station (Which its not, MARC still uses the station) <br /> <br />As for the youn folk and steamers, working at a railroad museum, I see many people, anywere from 3 to 20 and up, asking questions about steamers, asking why the museum has none, and asking were to see them.
