Apr 18, 2011 16:18 | #18 ATF wrote in post #12247132  There seems to be more heat/smoke coming out of the engine this time. Was the first pass just enough in the boiler to get steam for the whistle and brakes? Actually no there's plenty of heat coming out. Plenty of fire going on. When a steam locomotive is run right, there is very very little smoke. It's not as photogenic, but it's almost all steam coming out the stack. 3751 is an oil burner which makes it a little easier to control the fire and get a clean stack. On the return trip, the locomotive comes around a little corner in the distance. They can then see the signal far down the straight track which was green and thus open up the throttle. When they did this they let a little smoke escape as the fire was ramped up as well. She was burning plenty hot the whole way there and back. • http://www.kurtlawson.com

One hell of a set of pics there; it certainly IS something you don't see every day.
