I think the best that we could hope for would be if the Friends put a big wedge on one of there old gons, re-inforce it, then 168 on the lead, followed by 315, being pushed by 463, and all running in front of 488.. The water tanker and a nice warm caboose. I question 168's tenders life with that much push.
