Was the engine that was saved in the best condition, or all about the same, and are the others M type or what? Ron H

This demonstrates that if there is a will, there's a way!  Of course these engines could be saved!  The only problem was, no one with the clout wants to push the issue to get it done.
 
They should all be saved.  I think that if some private individual wants to do it, then that's super!  If I had the money, then I'd buy one as well and put it behind my house if nothing else!
 
Maybe some other folks will come out of the woodwork and buy the rest of them up before the torch gets them.  Torching those old locomotives would be beyond disgraceful.
