This place is awesome! If you are interested in trains and you like history of things go here. You won't regret it. David came up and started telling me about this steam engine and he knew everything. The exact mechanics of how it worked, all the historical information, the differences between other steam engines, insights into being a conductor back in the Era of steam engines.
