Paul,
The answer is simply money. Around 20 years ago I had a car engine blow up. The shop gave me a quote to repair it. With over 100,000 miles on the car I asked what it would cost to get a few more thousand miles out of the car while I looked for a new car. The new quote was significantly lower. It would take two to three times the amount of money spent on C&S 9 to bring back to life one of the long dead EBT locos - #16 or #18. And those two locos have been sitting protected in their roundhouse stalls for the last 5 & 1/2 decades. So, basically the CHS got what it paid for, a short term return to service of an historic locomotive.
