      What a machine. They're so beautiful to observe. Like a living thing almost. Great steam on this baby.

      Haven't seen a sight like this (or sniffed the perfume) since about 1947. Thanks for the MemoryLaner!

      Thanks everyone for the nice comments and faves... Rajah, as a matter of fact I believe this train was built in 1947... one thing I learned was that if I got anywhere near the steam or smoke it was time to clean the lens...
