[quote user="SW 1200"]Steam Locomotive coming through Hammond, Indiana, May 10, 2014. How do you post photos on here?

 

I don't know how to post here, but I lived in Calumet City, and one night my parents took me to the Hammond Civic Center to see The Globe Trotters. I was about 5 or 6 years old. As we were going to cross the tracks near the auditorium a HUGE steam engine thundered slowly past! The ground under me shook, my sound of the engine shook my chest and the whistle made me jump! I can still remember the smell of oil and and sight of steam as it lumbured by...it was the only "live" still running and "working for living" steamer I even saw before the diesels took over. It's a sight and sound that I will never forget!!! Sorry you're pics never got posted here.

I have never posted a photo, but I think the guys here use photo bucket or something similar. Maybe someone here can chime in with the details of how to do it. I hope you get some good photos.
