    And then you assemble the glorious bastard and see him awaken from slumber. Dear God it has to be mesmerizing.

      One of the last Discworld books centers around the invention of trains, and yeah, people were blown away.

    Judging by the location and numbering, this is Chicago & North Western 2808, a Berkshire locomotive. Although 2808 and all of her class were scrapped in the 50s, two locomotives of similar era and configuration - NKP 765 and Pere Marquette 1225 - operate today.

      Have you tried depressurizing the boiler and heating it up again?
