I'll put train videos on for the kids, but there's so much more going on with a steam train.

Steam is billowing out of everywhere, they're just this massive piece of infrastructure, it's like taming the elements with an unholy union of water and fire - natural enemies in the wild, and you get to feel like a hero because you're helping people get to places.

I went to a tourist thing where you can ride a train up a mountain. They offered us the option to ride on one pulled by an old steam locomotive that they only run on special occasions.

It was really cool looking, but I wasn't prepared for the amount of smoke involved. The train cars were open and I felt like I smoked the equivalent of 500 cigarettes on that short ride.
