2/6/22

 It's Steamy Sunday!  Today's image goes back to The Minnesota Steam Thresher's Reunion last Labor Day weekend.  The Porter Tank engine that I get to help fire on in the afternoon was just pulling in to load passengers near the water tower.

  1. Certainly working the locomotive. Do I see 2 others in the background?

  2. I believe what you are seeing in the background would be from some of the many steam traction engines that park in that area. There would be another locomotive following behind, but it would be stopped at the station halfway around the showgrounds at this time.

  3. That sure is an interesting locomotive. I bet that is fun to run.

    1. It is! It's a tight space and a bit of a challenge to keep pressure steady due to the small firebox but very fun. Thanks much Tom!
