 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  It's a bitterly cold winter day here with a high predicted of -1F.  😨  Today's image goes back to a much warmer day at the beginning of October at the Abilene Heritage Days Festival.  The Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad was running some of it's last excursions for the year.  I captured this image as it was heading out for it's first run of the day.  Unfortunately, unless things go more quickly than expected, the railroad will not be operating this engine this year because it is due for it's tube replacement and FRA inspection.
