I am old enough to have lived through the end of the steam era. If you ever had the chance to stand beside the track and watch a Big Boy double head pulling a train with a 9000 spliced in the middle and an old Mike hooked in ahead of the caboose pulling Weber Canyon from Ogden to Evanston, you would be a steam fanatic. Nothing can make the ground shake, blow smoke, smell like burning coal and hot oil, and have so many moving parts as a steam locomotive. They almost seem alive. Nothing has ever raised the hair on the back of my neck like standing beside the track when steam is working upgrade under load at a snails pace. You can guess what I voted for. I just hope coal remains reasonably priced while oil prices soar. Steam may become economically viable once again. <br /> <br />Tom
