Here’s the promised picture. You may notice that the steam is blowing in the wrong direction. This is because the train is backing up. Lots of trains. A good demonstration of the roundhouse in use. The Steamtown National HIstoric Site still needs to work on a lot of its locomotives and cars. They are old and rusty. We saw many trains at the Henry Ford Museum in Deerborn, MI. They are in way better shape. I guess its a case of private money vs. public money.
