All, When in the company of my fellow SPF brethren, I frequently hear. "I wished a ____ was saved, referencing the PRR classes that did not make the "to be saved" collection. I say nay! What was saved were for the most part the bread n butter common classes that so marked and defined what was the PRR steam power. I wished they were more recently shopped so some may still be running today or that more then 1 of each was saved but that is another issue. I am pretty happy with what was saved. The fact that the sole surviving I1 is under the control of a bunch of stubborn misguided idiots 400 miles away from the rest of the flock, and K4 1361 sits idle like an erector set project gone bad after $1M+ was spent on it is yet another issue.
When discussing the carnage and almost total destruction of the once Mighty NYC steam fleet, I am surprised that none of our little brain trust here has not addressed or mentioned the real reason for it. The steel was needed to be recycled into making the AMC Matador! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Matador We all know what a success THAT was!
