American Steam - Twilight of Steam

History of steam powered railroads. Copied from a VHS tape I found at an estate sale

[@SARCASTICLES]

These old steam locomotives were still in use in America at the same time all the hardware was being developed that would take us to the Moon.....seems like a million years ago. This tape was a great find, and thanks for sharing it with us.

It's cool seeing pre-Strasburg era footage of 89 and 90 in action.
