Yes, true one of the 470 series is already parked. The D&S world is changing though with some new short-run trains along with the addition of the two new diesels in the mix there could be somewhat less demand upon steam. Those $800k steamer rebuilds are a significant chunk of money; especially in light of the extremely challenging last year for the company. Will be fascinating to see how it all plays out and how the company evolves and adapts.
