Badass Steam Locomotive Video
If you've never been close to an operating steam loco- it's definitely an experience.
I was up close and personal with AFT 1/ Reading 2101 on the 1976 American Freedom Train.
Remember it like it was 2 weeks ago.
I caught up with the 2101 38 years later at the B&O museum, after it had been damaged by a fire and subsequently "cosmetically" restored as AFT 1
2102 is now operational.
I may have to make some travel plans.
I wonder how many people can say they've ridden behind two sequentially numbered steam engines of the same class.
