Interesting comments about Mr. Krebs and Frisco #1522 from John Lee. If Mr. 
Krebs did feel that way about the steam locomotive (wanting to cut it up on 
the spot) then I wonder why #1522 is scheduled to represent BNSF at Galesburg 
Railroad Days again this year. I'm not going to dispute what John said about 
Mr. Krebs at all (I've heard that he has quite a temper - this is rumor 
though). Hopefully they will have a safe and trouble-free trip to Galesburg 
and back ... their group needs it. They basically have done a total 
restoration of the running gear over the winter AFTER the whole thing was 
worked on two years ago. 

I don't know what will happen with BNSF and their steam policy. They are 
really the only big RR left running excursions (I've always considered UP to 
be in a different category). 

Is there any movement or current program to get #3007 back running again? 
Nothing against IRM but the've got a lot of engines that could be restored.
