And apparently hated history as well. Perlman is also why no Rio Grande standard gauge steam engines were saved. I understand that they didn't even languish on the dead tracks, but went straight to scrap after their last runs. IIRC the last standard gauge to run was a C-48 (#1151?) on 12/26/56 in Alamosa.
