Hope you don't mind me throwing in another twist from a piece that you wrote in the Pacific News July 1982, ( By the way that is a fun read) If the Scenic would have chose to rebuild 482 instead of 489 back in 1980 I wonder where we might be now? And with that thought in mind do you think that the trade to Durango would have happened at all, or would the C&TS have just restored 489 down the road anyway and still would have had 483 sitting where she is now anyway. Crazy the many possiblities out there that could have been.
