[ATSF1927]

I remember the steamers, they would burn hard coal or coal oil. I remember my younger years with Santa Fe, I was a fireman on an old Baldwin 4-10-10-2, that was a powerful locomotive and it was able to move a 80 car train through Cajon Pass without one wheel slip. I miss the steam power.
