Re: Flying into Pz
Do you realize you are more likely to see an old restored steam locomotive in operation than a working example of some of the earliest-generation diesel-electric engines that pushed them off the rails in the first place?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Flying into Pz
Nope, I didn't realise that! We have a fair few over here, the "Heritage railway" day out is a big thing..

Damn...missed it by just 4 days.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

If one is really into steam locomotives, it is a perfume.
Out here in CA during the age of steam, locos were oil-burning.
Live a little and check this out (it's in your neck of the woods).

And Jrl, while coal does smoke a lot, the foulness depends on the type of coal. I recall seeing a show on history channel about trains that talked about buring anthracite coal and how some railroads used that as an advertising campaign (Ride the road of anthracite).
