Way, way off topic. In 1991, we took a train trip on the Royal Scotsman in Scotland. The train trip was a one week adventure on the old restored train cars. Half the trip was with a normal engine and the other half was with a early 1900's steam engine.
What a treat with the smoke and steam coming out of that huge stack! And the sound... chug chug chug (going faster)... chug chug chug chug.......
Well, we decided to stand on the back platform just while we started to go through a tunnel. OMG, the fumes, steam and oil that comes out of the stack was amazing and messy.
It was a fun trip through the lowlands to the highlands.... all nights were black tie and each cabin had beautiful wood with a private bath. It was in October of that year so it was fairly cool.
Boy, that engine was huge.
