I will be taking the family to see Polar Express in the next couple of days, and while I enjoy steam locomotives I must say I'd like to see some of the kids movies made with more modern power and equipment. My kids and even I are not folks of the steam era. They are used to seeing Daddy's train being a Conrail or NS unit on the occasions my wife has brought them to the terminal or older diesel and very occasionally steam power when we have gone on excursion trains. My point is that steam trains present a major disconnect from trains to the reality of today. It is hard enough to get kids interested in trains without showing them only the steamers of my 74 year old father's youth... <br /> <br />LC
