With all due respect, that's a VERY narrow vision! The EBT is one of America's "Living Museums"! Surely SOMEBODY is making plans for the continuaton of steam power on the EBT! How long can one engine handle the load? Where will the EBT be when IT needs overhaul again?
I will freely admit that I don't know nearly as much about the EBT as I do the C&T but it would seem to me that they are in much the same position. There HAS to be some kind of multi-year plan for the future to at least provide some kind of direction for the railroad!
