If there going to restore it they could restore it to operate--I'm guessing this is being covered by Insurance. It is a real shame they mistakenly scrapped the caboose remains--do they own this equipment? I guess it's nice to have a display engine etc but if you don't know the significance of historical value it's kind of scary to know it could be scrapped at the drop of hat. Thanks for the update Matt.
