During a fan trip around 1957, I remember the then master mechanic on the Sierra remarking about #3, "There's nothing wrong with this locomotive that can't be fixed by jacking up the stack and running a new locomotive under it." Glad to see they finally got around to it. And now, as somebody else said, back to your regularly scheduled narrow gauge programming.....
