In addition to the MN&S engine, they also had lots and lots of steam engines on display. Many of them were quite old and while they had once been big monsters on the rail, they were just shells of their former selves... This old Burlington engine had clearly seen better days!
...as had this old guy...
It's amazing just how big these monsters were. They were bigger and longer then the modern diesel engines -- which are huge! Here's mommy giving a sense of size -- and I know she's not big, the engine is huge!
Really huge. In fact, the main wheels are like half again the size of Mommy!
They are kinda scary these old steam monsters!
