"Nuclear Powered Transcontinental expresses"-anyone remember the old late 70's TV series "Supertrain". A lousy "Love Boat" ripoff but it took place on just such a train. <br /> There are a lot of reasons why steam will almost certainly not make a comeback. Water usage is not one of them. Almost all proposals I've read for modern steam locomotives involve the use of condenser technology which greatly reduces water consumption. South African railways succesfully operated a fleet of 4-8-4s so equipped in the 1960's and 1970's. <br /> You gotta love a communications medium(the internet) where any Yahoo using an anonymous screen id can post whatever lies,hoaxes,or nonsense they please,and then claim that "you fools do not understand" when objections are raised. The individual who keeps posting the "Indian Atomic 2-8-8-2" nonsense will not provide any documentation to his claims because there is none to be provided. <br /> I am sincerely thinking of e-mailing the administrators of this board to complain about this hoaxer. <br />Jon C.
