Well, usually a functioning railroad doesn't save a lot of old equipment. Even scrap value brings more revenue than keeping unused equipment and continually paying property taxes on it. So it seems odd that your RR would have retained a lot of non-productive steam locomotives just for old times' sake. I could see having a handful of pieces remaining from the final operating fleet but not most of the historical roster.
