I'm not staff, but I am 20 years old, and nothing beats the sight of a good steam engine going by. When the Royal Hudson used to run on the BC Rail main line berween North Vancouver and Squamish, I used to ride it a few times every summer. If I was at my Grandpa's house, we could take a quick 5 minute walk to the grade crossing and watch it go by in the morning. There was truly nothing like seeing this loco go by at the crossing. You could hear the Royal Hudson from a good mile away. I would sit at the crossing just waiting to see it come around the bend, watching for it's headlight. Then there it would be, steam spewing out from all angles, whistle blowing, the constant chugging. It was a sight to see when it crossed the crossing, I could never figure out how this enormous machine could stay on two tiny little rails. I remember it was so enormous all shiny metal, polished with care. Then I would look up at the cab and see what seemed like theis tiny little engineer looking out the smallest of windows. It was always hard for me to believe that the little guy in the window was controlling all of this power. Those were the days. Check it out here [url]http://www.wcra.org/hudson/[/url]
