@Marie LC: There are only two large steam locomotives still in use by the railroads that I know of. Both make occasional journeys to different towns so people can still see an old train that works. Thanks Marie!

Four engines! Neat! I absolutely LOVE the rumble of the diesel engines! Great shot, Bill! Love the colors.
