re: #252 Gus

I’m a bit of a railfan, and your link led me to Wikipedia to find out more about the Norfolk & Western 611. It was one of the last steam locomotives built in the USA, and saw pretty active service until diesel-electrics replaced it. Nice to see that Norfolk Southern will finally get 611 back in operation, if only for excursions.

Following some other links led to this modern steam locomotive, built in 2008 in the UK. It is in regular service. en.wikipedia.org

Here it is under steam, passing through Dorcester station. (video)
