Do not be surprised when you see this happen on a frequent basis in the future(and I'm not taking a swipe at CRRM). Many museums have taken on more than they ever can save. As the railfan community dwindles so does the funding and sadly you will see many artifacts rot before they ever get attention. About the only way you can turn this around is to greatly increase the number of railfans and thus those interested in helping preserve the past. I'm trying not to be a pessmist, but with 50 plus years on this planet I've become a realist and know there are limits to what can be done with the manpower (and just as important the funds) that are available.
