I wonder what can be done about this issue? There are many types of GE locos not represented in preservation. while I don't think it is realistic to think a museum would try to preserve one of each type, it wouldn't be out of the question to think one of each surviving types could be displayed at various locations around the country.
Now my view on preservation is thus; it is NOT preserved if it is a for profit tourist line (they have to have a mind-set like a shortline). Conway and New Hope & Ivy don't fit the bill (NH&I have just scrapped 6 axle C30-7)
The owner/ operator needs to be 501 group.
At this stage, these are the only types preserved;
U23B
U25B
U28B
U30B
U36B
U23C
U25C
U28C
U30C
U34CH
B30-7
B32-8
B40-8
You may notice there are no 6 axle Dash 7s or Dash 8s in the list.
Just sayin....
