As the day heats up, that condensing cloud of steam from the exhaust will almost instantly disappear; but on a cool or humid morning the steam lingers, creating that picture-perfect vision

Ex-Frisco "Mountain type" steam locomotive, No. 1522, pulls some freight for Burlington Northern, and is seen running northbound near Old Monroe, Missouri.
Later that day, the locomotive arrived in Galesburg, Illinois, to be the featured-attraction for that city's annual "Railroad Days" celebration.
