I think the idea of using old South Buffalo units in somewhat of reasonable idea. Yes, there might be weight restrictions. However, there is at least seven units just rusting away. They might not be the best solution, but for the mean time I think those units could solve some of the Arcade and Attica's motive power problems. If the rumors or newspaper articles about economic development in Arcade is true, then a heavier unit is needed for more rail traffic. The A&A should improve track conditions for bigger railcars or tonage. I read that article in "Trains" magazine about bigger or heavier frieght cars and the damage being done to rail lines. I hope the A&A will survive. But, in a market dominated by CSX, NS, etc. I think they must invest know, not later.
I can not figure out why, the federal goverment has stopped steam excursions? Why?
I have a question. How much of the A&A is abandon and from what towns?
