Wow. If Guatemala decides these are scrap instead of national treasures, it sure would be nice if some benefactor(s) could bring them north. I am assuming that if the boilers are in reasonable shape it would be cheaper to restore one of these than to build one from the ground up....

The only problem is there are native NG locomotives still in need of restoration work. Still, locos like these would be nice to see on the GLoop or running on a stretch of SN grade, etc. I just hate to see them rust away or be cut up for scrap.

If I only had $^3s ......
