Steamy!

I decided to look up other steamy things. This project has made me see steam in a different light. I think it's easy to underestimate the power of steam, but that's a mistake. History, with it's broad range of the good, the bad and and the ugly, owes a lot of it's story to the power of steam. Not only has steam moved incredible amounts of steel machinery, but it took on the additional load of moving people, cargo and in a lot of cases the earth's surface. On the lighter side of steam, it has even entertained us by fueling our music. You have to wonder, in this day in age when we struggle with new forms of energy, is steam worth investigating again? I'm just say'n.

Something Steamy. Forward to about 31 seconds. For some reason it has a slow start. This film is amazing. I can't imagine what it must have been like to see something like this coming down the railway! WOW!


Think steam power is just a thing of the past? Think again. This video is LONG! Watch it and let it load, then you can skip through it. According to the person who made it, this was made in China 2008. Hmmm, I thought they were sucking up tons of oil right now? What's up with all this steam power? What gives?
