I'll bet any amount of money that they are only mothballing these old engines and if fuel embargos become deadly serious they'll be back to work America always prepares for war in the time of peace..

Maybe cheaper and more environmentally friendly than diesel, but I'd like to see you get my lazy ass engineers to do what engineers had to do in the old days.

@slickrick6923 If I can save enough money, NYC #3005 IS coming back. I've contacted the Nat'l NYC Railroad Museum and the 3001 is slated to go for restoration, but they're having trouble finding a sponsor. Pass the word along!

Second 614 Workday Port Clinton,PA. November 27,2010 .by Conrail637011,256 views
Beautiful engine.
What is most noticeable is that she is under very light steam indeed (if not just coasting) and STILL doing 80mph.
Looks like she's good for 125 mph - the magic 200 kph!
Studies have shown that modern steam could be considerably cheaper to run than diesel and, suprising to many, more environmentally friendly.
