I thought it was interesting that the Valley RR bought the 58. Valley bought a Chines SY new in 1989, and it was built at the same time as the #58. Valley ran their 1647M until 1992 when it was sold to the Susquehanna after their own Chinese loco was sunk in a cyclone on its way to the US. Now, Valley is once again the owner of a Chinese SY 2-8-2! And 1647M is still running, but it is now called Susquehanna 142. It almost makes one wonder if those two steamers will be teamed up in the future, given their relatively close proximity. Either way, I was glad to see that the steam engines did not end up in the hands of the scrappers.
