Re: 340 in Durango

Great news! I also just saw on Facebook some great progress photos of Southern Railway #722 at Strasburg. I think it's so odd that AHR is doing all this contract work at D&S but contracting out the 722 work to SRC. You'd think the extra transportation costs from Dillsboro to Durango (vs. Dillsboro to Strasburg) would be easily made up by doing a lot of the work in-house at D&S. I wonder if the size difference had something to do with it (width/height vs roundhouse doors) or maybe machine capacity (wheel lathes, etc). Maybe they just don't want to put in a short section of NNG
