I agree with MX totally, except for the continued removal of the Flying Yankee out of either Massachusetts or Maine. Not to beat a dead horse, but MX's comments make me realize even more how foolhardy this endeavor was from the beginning for the FYRG to attempt it if the intent was to actually refurbish it operationally. (Did somebody say GALA ?) Technically non-railroad, but I see the Yankee fitting in nicely inside the lobby of the Museum of Science, I guess partly due to it's proximity to North Station and partly due to the steam locomotive which graced it's entrance for so many years. I also think that she would be stunning in the concourse of South Station. Would any of these locations be willing to display and securely care for the Yankee ? (If owned by non-government, suggestion being to have either full or part government ownership for control purposes.)
