Re: Watch that steam plume!

Something to make my day after completing a 150 page report on office real estate investments - guess what I would rather have been doing Mark!
The most beautiful way of polluting the atmosphere :-) I can almost smell the smoke, steam, hot metal and oil. Wonderful to see them treated with so much TLC and not just standing around in a shed or museum. 

Thanks for showing them

Niles Canyon Railway held their tripletank steamfest last weekend. Three steam locomotives, old Pullman cars, rides on the traion, and plenty of photo runbys.
The locomotives included the newly-restored Robert Dollar Company No. 3, owned by my great-great-great-great uncle's lumber company:
