Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.

One artifact of the steam era that remains in use to this day; even modern AC traction locomotives need help on the biggest hills.
