I am afraid you are not completely correct with your statement - for a couple of reasons. First, all steam locos (just like any other loco) are subject to a rigid schedule of maintenance and inspection. Once the loco is up for inspection, it will go out of service automatically until it has passed the inspection, for which the cost can easily run up to several hundred thousands of $. This has nothing to do with the state of repair the loco is in. Second, we are talking about locos which have an age of anything between 70 to 125 years or even older. What´s OK today, can break tomorrow, for no apparent reason. There is no way to find that out ahead of time, other than doing a full inspection each time you run the engine. Who is going to pay for that?
