[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mark W. Hemphill There's "real" steam in the world today -- in fact, in the U.S. I don't know how the Mount Washington Cog Railroad,the Durango & Silverton, and the Cumbres & Toltec cannot be considered real steam railroads: 100 years ago, they made a business out of hauling tourists, which happened to be behind steam engines. Today, they make a bigger business hauling tourists, and still use steam engines. The function of those railroads has not changed, nor has their operation, nor has their methods, nor has their technology, nor has their problems, nor has their solutions. If you want to see "real" steam, go there. You'll see plenty of it. [/quote] Mt. Washington Cog is a great place to spend time at, My father and i spent a day there in October of 2002. Trust me that is as real as it gets. Yet there is still plenty of other places that have steam. the Ji-tong Railway in northern China is still running 2-10-2's on fright and in Germany there are still steam hauled passenger trains. Now if I could only get to those places............[:)] -justin
