A steam locomotive in NWI.

[JB357Mag]

A large steam locomotive just passed threw Hobart In. 11:46 am Sunday May 11 2014

It had a bunch of passenger cars, very cool!

I don't ever remember seeing one running before.

Damn, that would be cool to see...

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I've never seen one in person either. That would have been cool to see, I bet.

A coworker and I knew we heard a steam whistle go through NWI the other day, got in our trucks to search but didn't find. Love those things. Here's a Shay at Cass Scenic RR in WV last summer.

You put all of your "text" inside of the quote... in a post you are quoting you will see brackets that look like this [], inside of those will be "QUOTE=XYZ Name" to open the quote and "/QUOTE" to end the quote. Whatever is between the starting quote and ending quote will be displayed inside the quote. Together they make

text

You must move your text AFTER the one that has the "/quote" inside the brackets.

Growing up there used to be one that ran through my hometown every once in a while. This was Kouts in NW Indiana. I believe my dad said it was some tourist train. I remember stopping and watching it in the early 80s. Tell that story at work and the young kids look at me like 'we didn't think you were THAT old'.

Wow. That video is cool! I don't recall ever seeing one in person. I've seen turn of the century steam tractors, but compared to that vid, it's not the same thing.

Heard the steam whistle yesterday in Hobart and missed seeing the train. When the kids were younger and the steam train came thru town, we saw people put pennies on the tracks and saw some weird shaped pieces of copper.

There are two places you can see steam trains in the area. La Porte County steam museum in Hesston, IN www.hesston.org and Hoosier Valley Rail Road museum in North Judson, IN . www.hoosiervalley.org .

If y'all are in NWI and like trains... And dont want to drive down to Noblesville and/or French Lick to the train/transportation museums there, the one in Illinois is fantastic. Illinois Railway Museum near Union, IL. Around two hours WNW of Chicago - almost to Wisconsin in McHenry, Co. Illinois Railway Museum
