 It's Steamy Sunday! So I have never shared a photo of myself here and also one not actually taken by me.  Times are different though and this one was taken by my camera by the hubster and shows off the locomotive well.  I believe this is the experience that started it all, my first cab ride in a steam locomotive at the Black Hawk & Central City Railroad in Colorado.  The people running it were so friendly and informative and it was a great experience.  I really hope they are able to get this railroad up and running again as they are trying to.  All my pics from this were slightly blurry, not sure what was going on, we were usually better photographers than that.  This is an actual film pic that has been copied from back around 1990-ish.

 Today's Steamy Sunday image goes back to the Black Hawk & Central City Railroad.  This is another scan of an old photo I took probably around 1990.  This image shows a bit of the line there.  At this time is was a point to point, backing out and then pulling forward on the return.  It didn't go horribly far due to a bridge that needed replacing but it was a nice ride on a neat old train.  I hope they can get it back up and running again.

 Today's image really goes way back in my archives to either 1989 or 1990ish and a trip out to Colorado.  This is the Black Hawk & Central City Railroad.  It was a short point to point railroad but it was quite fun.  I was even able to have a ride in the cab, my first steam train cab ride in locomotive No. 71.  Unfortunately this railroad does not exist any longer.  The locomotive in recent years has been on display in front of the Grand Z in Central City.  There was talk of moving and restoring the locomotive back to operation in late 2019 but I am not sure where that went and now may be staled out due to the Vid.
