In true Wisconsin fashion, we stashed beer in the Animas River on the trip into the Mtns, so when we came out we would have something to drink while waiting for the train. Here, the Knutson family is enjoying, appropriately, Steam Engine Lager from the Steamworks Brewery in Durango, while we wait for the steam engine pulling the D&SNG passenger train from Silverton to Durango.

Space Shuttle Main Engine
A cluster of three of these high-performance main engines provides the primary thrust to place the Space Shuttle orbiter into Earth orbit. These liquid-fuel engines gurn for eight minutes and are reusable and throttle able. Two large, shorter-burning solid rocket boosters are also used during launch and are jettisoned after use. The main engines are serviced after each Shuttle flight and made ready for the next flight. On top of the engine’s nozzle is the powerhead, which contains computers to regulate and monitor all engine functions.
