As a Slobbering Pennsy Freak (SPF) in addition to RGS addict, I'd like to see the Strasburg working to get LIRR #39 back in steam so that a proper Belpaire-fireboxed Juniata Shops product is plying Strasburg's rails once again as God and nature intended. I know that's more of a funding thing than time thing, though. Nevertheless, it's pretty staggering to think about how many stuffed-and-mounted steam locomotives are being restored to operation these days. Exciting times!
