A beautiful day here in Kansas again!  This is an older image from Steamfest in Owosso, Michigan that I was able to attend a few years back.  This locomotive was there and you could pay to operate it for a certain period of time.  I did not do it because I had fired on a locomotive very similar to it in Minnesota but I did take photos of it.  :-)  This is a Tank style locomotive which means it carries it's water over the boiler on the locomotive itself.  It is owned by the Gramling Locomotive works in Indiana and they have a website called Have Engine, Will Travel.  They have 2 different locomotives right now that they will truck to an event and run them like they did to this one in Michigan.  Kind of cool.  As you can see I had a bit of fun with the processing on this one.
