Hey Al, let's go to Saint Louie, with a truckload of coal, and take matters into our own hands! (just kidding). Kind of reminds me of the old C.W. Mc Call song "Convoy", from the 1970's. We could break into museum grounds, steam-up 2156, and "cra***he gate" although we wouldn't be doing "98", we would be luckey to be doing "8"! <br /> Yea, 2156 is probably going to stay imprisoned in the museum forever, but it's nice to fantasize once in a while too.... What the hay, at least we still have a couple of examples of N&W super steam that we can look at. The Y's were my favorite, but the 1218 sure filled the gap, although for too short of a time. I sure wi***he Claytor brothers were still around, Damn, they were the last of the great ones. <br /> Not to get technical, but I believe that 2156 is a Y6-a, not a "b". <br /> Let's just hope that ALL retired steamers will eventually get a reprive. <br /> Todd C,.
