Well, for what it's worth, my father lives in Lancaster, PA, about a 15 minute drive from Strasburg, and he's the one responsible for exposing me to the RGS virus. There's a high concentration of railfans in that area, and although most are Pennsy fans first, I would be surprised if they wouldn't also be interested in seeing a true one-of-a-kind like RGS #20, especially if it would help restore one more American steam locomotive to operation...regardless of where she came from.
