It's early morning and the American Freedom Train has wrapped up its visit to Sacramento. As the sky lightens up over the Sierra 4449 is shoving it's train back along SP's double track onto what it will use as the tail track - the east end of the Elvas Wye and the mainline toward Roseville. Once clear of the east switch, the 4449 will reverse direction and take the Stockton Subdivision down the Valley for its next stop in Fresno. Sacramento Street lights are still illuminated as 4449's exhaust wafts over the 11 masted code line poles into downtown Sacramento.

River Mite (2-8-2)
Year of Build: 1966
Wheel arrangement: 2-8-2
Length: 24ft
Colour: Furness Railway Dark Red
River Mite is owned by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society, and first entered service in 1967. Built by Clarkson’s of York using components from River Esk’s steam tender, the engine made history when it was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine. River Mite attracted a great deal of publicity when new, her distinctive Indian Red Livery from the old Furness Railway sets her apart from similiar River Esk features. She has travelled as far as Dresden in Germany as an ambassador for the R & ER.
I recall in the fifth grade the teacher in the late fifties allowed us to see from our school windows the last voyage of a steam engine. Could this be the one?
The Bundaberg Fowler!

This unique little steamer has captured my heart for many years, and now I've finally had the excuse to build it! My entry for OcTRAINber 2021 'Critters'! I remember watching this engine in the 1985 film, Steam Trains of Australia. Which you can watch here (28:09) - youtu.be/Swj8jRjl2Kw
The film really connected with me and is a sad reminder of the old days of steam, the people who worked with them, and how the locos were abandoned for the sake of progress.
These narrow gauge engines would hall large sugar cane trains to the Bundaberg Mills in Queensland, Australia. They worked a long time up until 1980, where Baldwin diesels slowly took over in their place. Luckily most of the locos have been preserved and operate on a private line offering small passenger rides.
The whitestone townscape of Oamaru contains some of the best-preserved heritage buildings in New Zealand. In the late 19th century, the town prospered through goldmining, quarrying and timber milling. Some of the wealth was spent on elegant stone buildings made from local limestone. The Harbour-Tyne Street area is particularly special – and the shopping is great too. After exploring the Victorian precinct, swing by the steampunk playground and museum.
Oamaru Harbour is home to a colony of little blue penguins, and you can also see yellow-eyed penguins from a special hide. Penguin viewing is best just before sunset.
Silver Dollar City is a sort of "hillbilly" theme park near Branson, Missouri. This section of the park has a number of old buildings moved from their original setting, as well as some antique machinery. This is a steam powered tractor. I didn't find much information on it.

The setting sun highlights the exhausts as No.85 and 43924 climb out of Keighley with the 16:30 to Oxenhope. 28/2/2016.
Hall Class 4-6-0 No 4965 Rood Ashton Hall crests the incline at Earleswood running tender first with 1T52 14.01 Birmingham Snow Hill to Stratford -upon-Avon. Certainly not most peoples cup of tea, tender first, but it did afford a good view of the four man crew; with one waving back to an enthusiastic lady on the bridge.

Visiting Pannier Tank, 7752, and Worth Valley stalwart S160, 5820 "Big Jim" pass Haworth Top Field with a late afternoon Keighley to Oxenhope service on the 27th March 1988. Quite an usual pairing, but I still quite like the photo.

The North London tank had its LMS identity restored for an earlier event in 2023 and now sits on display on Platform 1 at Horsted Keynes
The phone rang far earlier than I had expected to notify me about our "stealth" departure with the ATSF 3751 from Williams Junction for a photo shoot on the Grand Canyon Railroad, a former ATSF branch. But that o-dark-thirty departure provided a bunch of us with this desert sunrise silhouette. Worth it, and once again thanks to the late Dave Goodheart for making it possible.
The famous Adler Steam engine from BlueBrixx is a real great set. Motorized with 9V, running smoothly. But the weight is high, so the axles have been replaced by original Lego ones.

If it weren't for the colour-light signals and the catenary, this scene could have been way back when. Oh, and for the concrete sleepers too...
OK, it's nothing like how things were... but it's still good to see steam on a national network in 2023.

The Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company was a 16-mile (26 km), 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad that ran from a connection with the Central Pacific Railway at Truckee, California to the waterfront at Lake Tahoe. The railroad was converted to 4 ft 8 1/2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge in 1926. The railroad operated its own property from 1899 until October 16, 1925, at which time it was leased to the Southern Pacific Company, which bought the property outright in May 1933. SP abandoned the line in 1943. (Wikipedia)

Shortly after departing Freeport Station at the village entrance, Boothbay's Henschel Locomotive #6 eases her 3PM excursion past one of the sheds containing the railroad's small diesel critter as well as some MOW equipment. The train will shortly be climbing a steady grade on the north side of the complex, working its way up to its next stopping point at Thorndike Station.
