Crowds from Santa specials at Arley station the end of the line on Santa special weekends on the Severn Valley Railway. Saturday 10th December 2013. Well worth a trip over with trains every 30 minutes and 5 steam loco's working
I got this machine as a Xmas present in 1964 from a neighbor. Herr Hermann was a firefighter who had a girl (who wasn't eligible for steam engines - this was the sixites..). So I got it. I still have it and it still runs well.

My late grandfather posing with his toy Jensen steam engine, model 25, sometime in the 1940s. After many years laying idle, during which time the heating element and boiler disintegrated, the steam engine was refurbished by the Jensen factory. Picture taken in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
Cute little engine on a popcorn and roasted peanut cart.
The heat from the boiler pops the popcorn as well as roasts the peanuts, and the steam engine turns the barrel that the nuts roast in.

The Gainesville Midland is on the square in downtown Gainesville, GA. It is a tribute to the vast railways that used to criss-cross Northern Georgia. Many cities in Hall and Lumpkin counties have old steam train engines or cabooses featured prominantly in their town.
The advent of the steam engine revolutionized the world. Many different countries developed railroad systems that stretched across the nation state. In the United States the rail system connected the remote pacific coast with the “civilized” Atlantic coast. Trains were used to carry both passengers and freight. It was not unusual for men and women of the 1800s to go no more than 20 miles away from their home in their lifetime. The train began to change that trend. People could now travel thousands upon thousands of miles with little effort. Electric and diesel powered engines in the mid 1900s. Electric trains were much more efficient and cleaner than the coal and steam powered trains. Electric trains do have a much higher start up cost, therefore they are typically only used in high traffic areas such as major cities. Since gasoline powered cars were brought about during roughly the same time, the use of passenger trains has greatly decreased.
