Actually, yes, it should be saved, or at least documented. Might help to demonstrate that those "Standard" guys were not the hot stuff they thought they were. Howard P. |

Not necessary. There are plenty of people doing equally bad work today, so examples are not endangered. dave |

It is a good illustration of the general attitude of the railroads at the end of steam. Document the piece and put it back on the unit (if there isn't any thought of restoring it). |

Saying the locomotive recieved "crappy maintenance" incorrectly suggests that the locomotive received any maintenance at all. |

A blowdown valve may be on the dirty side of the steam engine doings taking in scale while using to blowdown the firebox. Lack of water treatment surely accellerated this. |
