This is a bit of a different shot.  This is a closeup of the 15 inch scale, actually 14 and 3/4, Wagner locomotive that I get to operate at the Western Minnesota Steam thresher's Reunion in Rollag every Father's Day and Labor Day weekends.  It's just starting to pull out here and the cylinders are open to let out any water that may have built up in them while it sat because that could cause some damage.  You only want nice dry steam to operate with.  They do this on the full size locomotives as well which is what my fog images of 353 were showing in operation.
