As I stated on another board, this is mostly a good thing. The outfit that is getting the equipment just recently bought the ex Rock Island facility, and its the steam friendly 261 bunch under Steve Sandburg. The other good news is he has rail connection to the Iowa Interstate Railroad. They have 2 steam engines from China, and one just ran late 2021, but is now down for the 1472 restoration. So potentially we could see more steam on Iowa Interstate, and if any of those UP engines does get rebuilt, we could see it back on UP rails again. I think this is probably a win-win.
