I understand how people are concerned about budgets and the environment but the diesel engine should not be ridding on such an historic railway. There must be ways to retrofit the existing steam trains to burn diesel in their boilers. Although this will cost more to operate it will still allow future generation to experience the living breathing steam engines. If there has to be both steam and diesel then riders of the diesel should be able to pay a much lower ticket price to reflect the lower operating cost I am not a train nut but I want to see the heritage of this railroad preserved.
