As a child of the 1940s, all I knew was steam. I was about seven years old before I saw my first diesel locomotive (other than the GM&O Rebel passenger train). Then in the blink of an eye, two years maybe, steam had completely vanished. It was a dozen more years before they dismantled the water towers and coal chutes, but by then they were derelict for lack of maintenance.

That is cool. I wish American railroads would revert back to steam. Those engines are amazing.
