You'd feel heat from the firebox, smell hot steam and oil; you'd hear the
whistle, feel the ground vibrate, and watch as one-ton drive rods turned steel

can learn the history of steam railroad transportation, and the people who
built, repaired and rode, as we work to preserve a special era in America's
industrial history!
