This steam engine has been traveling the midwest to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad. It passed by near here yesterday and I was able to get a couple of decent shots of it. Here's one.

Great picture. I would have LOVED to be there in person. I saw this locomotive near Salt Lake City before it was towed north to be restored.

The only thing better than seeing (and hearing steam trains) is riding one! Great that you could see and hear and get a find image!
