For sure, steam powered freight in 2013 in the USA! Just fantastic.

Something about this is really meaningful. Just think of the effort and teamwork this took. Another great photo that I sure appreciate since it shows what a group like this can accomplish

I am always thankful for the many old iron steam horses preserved in history for the generations to come. I am delighted at the thought of seeing them used for more than hauling curious tourists, which to me is much better than parking them in a city park or inside a museum. Maybe as a way to increase their revenue, I see no reason why these old iron horses can't be used by the class ones and twos as 'switch' engines in rail yards, or short hops for delivery of empty cars to help support them. Good for you Norfolk Western & Strasburg Museum.
