This is just a totally hypothetical idea, but has anyone ever thought of having locomotives in parades (4th of July, Memorial Day, etc.)?
The perfect place would be somewhere where street running is done and the trains could run right down Main Street. Imagine a fourth of July parade right now: all of the floats, police cars, fire trucks; then imagine NS 6920 "Honoring Our Veterans" pulls down the middle of the street, ditch lights flashing and horns blaring. You have to admit it would be pretty cool. [/foamer moment]
Anyway, it will probably never happen because of the very specific circumstances required to pull it off, but it would be neat.
