Steam pressure gauge of a steam locomotive, at the Darjeeling train yard (India)
The red mark indicates the maximum pressure that the boiler can support. The numbers on the gauge indicates 10x PSI (pounds per square inch), and those boilers are tested up to 140 PSI.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, locally known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling (India). It is still operated by vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia (view photos of the landslide).
For more info about the DHR steam locomotives, read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHR_778_(locomotive) and www.irfca.org/docs/locolists/dhr-locos-full.html.

Photo shot by my Dad, Jay Thomson, at La Junta, CO January 1977
This is the westbound Southwest Limited stopped in La Junta, Colorado January 3, 1977. A third SDP40F is being backed up to the train to provide extra power (mostly for heating) after the heating lines started freezing up.
I had to do a lot of work on this one. The emulsions in the slide had really started to run and the slide itself has taken on a very pink/red tinge throughout. I was able to restore the proper colors on the digital file and clean it up some, too, but you can tell this one had some necessary editing by looking at the sky.
Lima, Ohio. On our way home from Michigan, we jumped off the interstate to have a brief look around Lima and saw this Southbound. It wouldn't surprise me if it was headed for Cincinnati itself.
