It's a shame the old engines were scrapped. I've read numerous stories over the years about how the Mt. had to scrounge and scrape to find and buy old engines for parts to keep the Mt. running. It would seem that the Mt's owners should have found a way to preserve those engines and parts so that others who were not as fortunate to get a big Govt. handout could use the parts to keep their machinery running.
