Is there any talk of restoring Southern Pacific's 4-8-8-2 reverse cab?

<p>By "Harder Worked" I meant that it may have been used longer and more often, meaning more hours on the boiler, which would have eventually worn out. I doubt that is was used THAT much more though. The boiler is probably VERY sound, the only times I've heard of a boiler needing replacement was when the locomotive had been in operation a LONG, LONG time. Usually 2-3 times as long as 429 was.</p> <p>Maybe if a SP rail fan wins the lottery, there might just be enough to go around to the Cab-Forward. I'd like to see others be done though, as cool as 4294 is, she is ugly as far as steam goes. (At least in my opinion)</p>
