Heck yea Dave! I'll second your "second" choice for sure! See, I grew up in Battle Creek Mich. where the GTW 4-8-4 6325 was displayed across from the GTW depot in the 1970's. By that time it was badly vandalised, and rusting away, but as a young railfan I would occasionaly slip through a hole in the fence and sit in the cab. Never did I dream in those days that the engine would be restored to operation. It was always a fantasy of mine to get the 6325 running again, but I thought it to be impossible given the state of the locomotive. Fast-Forward to the year 2000, and what do ya' know? the 6325 is Totally restored and running. Now for a "not-so-pleasant" fast forward, the corporate greed of the insurance companies has once again sidelined the 6325. After who knows how much labor and money went into the 6325 project, she now sits a prisoner of the stockholders and V.P.'s of the insurance industry. <br /> I've never been much of a U.P. fan, but at least they have the wallet, and the "kohonas" to stick with the steam program. Now, with C.N's "big wallet", how about competing with C.P., and using a freshly restored GTW 4-8-4? <br /> Just some "food for thought".... <br /> Todd C.
