John-
It isn't "a shame".... merely stripped for restoration. Hopefully, all the
bits and pieces of the interior are still available for reinstallation. The
trainset is actually quite restorable from what I can see..... the exterior
and structure look to be in excellent shape, and being stainless steel,
won't suffer from their current exposure! All it takes is a ton of money!!!
