    Well bedtime… but I found this in my endless fascination with steam locomotives, Union Pacific still using this mighty old beast of a girl to haul freight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPLekSSiQ8Y

        You can watch hours and hours of live streaming videos on youtube of trains almost anywhere in the world . . . a wonderful way of inexpensive armchair touring 😉

          Yea I know… I occasionally look for updates on these old boys and girls on Youtube… my father worked for the railroad, as did his younger brother… so I’ve always been fascinated by these. They seem somehow alive with their snorting, huffing, and puffing….

            My grandfather also, on MKT operating crossing switches and other duties. There was a big love for steam locomotives in the family and we had several model train layouts which were fun to build and play.
