A.K.A. the Nazi Southern. I hate the railroad I work for but at least they don't hide in the weeds to bust you when you do something wrong.

Steam is pretty cool stuff! I work for the Ohio Central RR and we have the largest privately held operating steam locomotive collection in the good ole' USA! :TU: Here is our 6325 heading out of Morgan Run, OH.
Steam is some fascinating stuff. Its hard to think they built those engines with all of those swinging parts without computers........simply amazing! :grin:
One of my favorite reads is a set of Engineer's "handbooks" from the late 1920's, they discuss everything from cylinder pressure curves to water injectors to balancing drive wheels. And some of the best drawings ever! GREAT reading material, it always impresses me how much those guys had to know. Don't mistake it, evrybody on an old steam train was pretty highly trained and savvy, they HAD to be.
