Klinger, I was only stating some points that show steam won't come back, if I have any wrong, it was my mistake. For the safety one I was still thinking along the lines of all of the moving parts. Plus there might be steam and a lot of heat when lubricating at a service stop.
Jib, I actually have talked to an engineer of the Great Lakes Central (what T&SB turned into) and he said when NKP 765 came for a visit and they double-headed it with 1225, he was asked to help them with the train. When all of the passengers were off ( because when there are passengers on board they are limited to 25mph. without a license [ I think it was a license]) they took the two Berks and got them going between 40 and 45 mph., the engineer said it was just an awesome thi8ng to see and hear.
