Thought about this when I recently visited Nashville's Centennial Park.  There they have NC&STL #768- a static display of what Yankees call a "Northern" but Southerners call a "Dixie".Like everyone else, there is a move afoot to try and restore this giant to life, but like everyone else, there's not enough money.Anyway, one of the issues the restoration group was discussing was the asbestos jacketing over the boiler.  What does UP use instead of asbestos on their steam program?  I seem to remember that they recently restored their Challenger locomotive... and I can't imagine the Feds would allow it to operate if there was a danger of asbestosis for the operating crew.
