<p>What good reaason does UP have to run the 2-10-2? What good reason does UP have to run any steam at all, for that matter?</p> <p>The answer for both is: They don't.</p> <p>UP would do just as good as a businuess without the steam program as with. We should be happy they operate what they can when they can; and even though they are bringing back a big boy, we have to remember their shops are only so big, and their pockets only so deep.</p> <p>UP can only run so much before it becomes too much of an expense. Business before pleasure.</p> <p>Also, that 2-10-2 is the only surviving wheel arangement from the UP, operation would mean destruction of some of that histrical fabric, after all, it's only original once. Lets keep it that way.</p> <p>At least the 5511 is preserved, I don't ask anymore of UP than to keep it that way.</p> <p> </p> <p>Not every steamer should operate,</p> <p>S. Connor; out.</p>
