<p>Yes they should bring back 1522, but she wasn't retired just because of funding. Burlington Northern (BN) canceled their steam program, and there were no more railroads willing to host 1522's excursions. From what I here UP also has a "No Foreign Steam" policy. And the only way out of the St. Louis Transport Museum by rail is through the back gate and onto UP's mainline. the only way for 1522 or any other steamer to get out would have to mean that they were towed out by a diesel locomotive, in a "dead" state.</p> <p>The NYC "Mohawk" 2933, however, is NOT being restored to service. She is almost finished with a COSMETIC RESTORATION, which is coming into it's 9th year. All that is left to do is put the lettering and number boards on and she'll be done. </p>
