    It's not authentic if they don't.
    On a side note, I used to deliver to a municipal pier in Philadelphia that had a ship that looked like the Titanic docked there just rotting away. I've always wondered if they would ever do anything like a Titanic replica cruise with it.

    Why not power up Queen Mary of Long Beach. It's looks like Titanic.

    Soviet had a short train that would go from one place to another without stop. If you would see it you would think it's a freight train. Each of cars had ballistic missile inside pointed to USA and NATO bases. Search ICBM train on Youtube.

    Mhyn:

    4014 was a monster sitting at a museum too.

    While the people were preparing the locomotive to be delivered to Cheyenne for restoration, they left 4014 for the night with the wheels’ brakes released.

    The engine had been so well maintained by 2 gentleman that took care of it over the years of it sitting there, the locomotive slowly started rolling on its own from its parking spot, bumped another locomotive that was sitting behind it and pushed it off the end of the track.

    Thanks to them. They preserved a gem, piece of country's history. Love to see this kind of staff, well maintained historic trains, airplanes, trucks,...
    My 10 year old son is a railroad fan. I will show him this locomotive.

    Mhyn: It is for that reason, because of those 2 gentlemen that took care of that locomotive, 4014 was chosen by Union Pacific as it was in the best condition.
