Santa Fe 2-6-2 No. 1010 will be restored by the California State Railroad Museum to operating condition.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California State Railroad Museum and its support group, the California State Railroad Museum Foundation, have launched an effort to restore Santa Fe steam locomotive No. 1010, a 2-6-2 built by Baldwin in 1901, for use on the museum’s Sacramento Southern excursion railroad.

The project — the largest steam restoration project undertaken by the museum since its opening in 1981 — is described in the current edition of the Museum Foundation’s “On Track” magazine.

Like I have said for many years, the pendulum always swings both ways.

If it swings as far right as it has far left in the last sixty years you can damn well bet the scenario above is not beyond the realm of possibility.
