There was period in time if the power was needed, they would have been rebuilt. Lots of documented instances of a master mechanic "jacking up the whistle and putting a new locomotive under it". This was the Perlman era,and a conserted effort to rid the D&RGW of the narrow gauge divisions was underway. We're lucky that we have any 19th century power of the Rio Grande still in existence.
