Those amphibious locomotives would be perfect for steam! No more annoying stopping for water, plus if the brake man gets bored, he can throw a fish hook in the water!

[}:)] Why do you need BIG cow catchers in Texas? Because everything in Texas is supposed to be BIG? (Or is it something else?)
Well, they claim it is all big....I have my doubts.
