My word, that's steep.  That would make me nervous.

Very cool! Europeans modernest steam engines on tour... Did you know, that those engies outbeat Diesel traction on those lines?
Those engines have a computer controlled fuel combustion, highest boiler efficience and about 1/3 more power of Diesel engines at one quart less fuel consumption!
Those engines show, that steam has a future!

Yeah. But the management has decided steam has to go. There will be pockets of modernized steam, but nobody important will ever be convinced to put it into large scale practice.

You're so right man!
Large scale steam is a problem of understatement and will, and the will to see to possibility and not wipe it away with the words of old technology! Each coal combustion power plant shows highst efficiency, so there are some strange arguments against steam, and: It's worth to give it a try, but a fair try!

I wish someone important could be convinced. Oh well.

Wow! This brings back some memories, although they've changed the station at the top since I went waaay back in the 1970's. Good memories, though. Wonder if the eagle's nest is still in a crack on the rockface just below the back of the restaurant on the Schafberg. Having it swoop an arm's length over my head was a thrill I can't describe. Stayed in the Schloss Eibenstein in St Wolfgang...
