Steam engines being restored

[NW Mailing List]

I do not believe it is due to the feed water heater that 2156 is out of 
the running. From my understanding the reason 2156 is not being pursued. 
Is that when NS had the Steam program the first time around they 
approached the museum in St. Louis about 2156 and pretty much the museum 
didn't want to work with them. Something about requiring insurance on it 
that made ti to costly to move? IIRC
