The logistics of keeping a steam engine fed and watered in such an evironment would be a nightmare..... It's amazing what the UP steam crew goes through just to get across the country with 3985 or 844. They take everything they need for simple repairs and maintainence (lubricants etc..) but still rely heavily on local support for clean water, and I have no idea how they deal with procurring fuel. Obviously clean water of such quality as to run in a boiler is not available most of the flooded areas....
