I'm going off topic again, but this reminds me of the story of Nevada Northern
Railway's last steamer, Number 40. Railroad employess hid it in a far corner of
the shop and management forgot about it. It was saved simply because someone
"forgot" to send it to the scrappers. It is used today in tourist service.
