Any hopes of the NS ever returning the former N&W #611 to active service? The little Consolidation now being used for excursions is a nice touch but really doesn’t represent what good setam power is capable of doing.

Or maybe rescue the Sou #1401 from the Smitsonian, though older than the #611, it would still be a beautiful sigt to behold.
