I wouldn't panic. Who would think there would be people to "fill the shoes" of those currently capable and certified to operate the old steamers. Take a trip to Rollag, MN. You see a team of teenagers operating the steam traction engines in the parade, plowing, and belted to the pony brake. You see younger folks in the blacksmith shops and sawmills there operating machines from the late 1800s-early 1900s.
