Steam Engine in Operation
This restored steam engine is located in Pennsylvania, USA and powers tours of the Penna. countryside in the restored passenger cars from the bygone era when rail was the best form of transport. There is something about the size, weight, and power of these old locomotives that fascinates people still.
They are especially fascinating when the passenger cars are air conditioned and the smoke,soot and cinders are optional. The clouds of steam released as this engine pulls into the station indicate why steam locomotives needed frequent stops for water as well as coal.
