Guess people don't fully read articles any more? Most people on facebook seem to just read the headlines.

In order to have a railroad you need to have a maintenance facility and place to hold trains. The D&S has said multiple times in press releases that they plan to continue steam operations, and look for alternative fuels. Getting an engine shipped from overseas to here can be rather costly, and the D&S has also said aquiring road worthy diesels would not be within their budget.
