Will we ever see electrified heritage railways - either with third rail or overhead line equipment?

Doubt it. Too dangerous. And costly.
We already have a thread on this topic which can be found here:
www.railforums.co.uk
Possibility of a full-size electric heritage railway
How possible would it be to set up and operate a full-size standard gauge electrified heritage railway primarily operating electric trains? What restrictions might there be, i.e. the line might be 25kv overhead only and/or have less scheduled trains due to energy costs?
