This is a pipe dream. This is nice to say they should do this but who is going to put that kind of money into something that wont even be able to run on anyones track. There is many locomotive ready to run on the mainline but the railraods dont like to have steam locomotives run on them. Now the cost CP put around 3,000,000 into there steam locomotive and this is a small locomotive. The 2100 to bring it up to FRA standards cost around 500,000 this is after 1,000,000 was put into this engine and it sat for about 8 years because again no one would let them run this engine. Just to steam up the 2100 you have about a one month prep time to get it ready to fire.Then it cost about $3,000 to 5,000 for fuel oil for the amount of time to bring it up to steam.Then you have to account for all the time you put in and sometimes you put in 16-20 hours per day getting it ready to go and then once you light the fire your up for the next 48 hours making sure every thing is going all right and fixing leaks etc. Most of you would pack it in after a good days work and you will never think you could get that dirty. And also you don't run down to the store for any parts you have to make them. This is very time consuming. I could go on and on.
