Sorry folks, not running under steam. Being pushed by the diesel electric locomotive. Notice no real smoke, no steam coming from drive cylinders, no steam from whistle. But cool to see it out for a spin...

At one time, that was the epitome of long-distance travel in America. The 747 of its day.

The past was far more dignified.
