There's a John Fahey tune playing in my head right now, trust me. :')
Cool! My parents and some other relatives went on that train a few years ago, in the fall. Mom said it was the highlight of their trip to Colorado.
My father worked for the Illinois Central RR and started on steam locomotives. Man, he loved them. Fifteen or twenty years ago, there was one that passed through Memphis on some sort of special trip. A special spur track was built across Riverside Drive and hundreds of people came to see it. There was some old RR workers with tape recorders taping the sounds of the engine. That was special. To see a fully funtioning steam locomotive up close. Now I know why my dad loved them so much.
PING!! You know the drill...
Wanna' buy brand new, not refurbished? They're Chinese made, but a FOB steam engine can be yours:
