Although on modern railways whilst the locomotive might fit, the train might not be allowed to operate in normal mainline traffic or need modifications to be considered safe. A steam train on the British main lines needs to be retrofitted with an alphabet soup of AWS, TPWS and GSM-R, and the glacial rollout of ERTMS and in cab signalling will mean figuring out how to add a HMI display to a steam engine cab.
