It's amazing that small pockets of steam lasted long into the 60's.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

Railroad Mag. claimed that New York's full crew laws required a fireman for Diesel locomotives, but not for steam engines. BEDT watched their labor costs.
