I was driving east with my daughter after flying out and meeting her in Albuquerque after she dropped off her boyfriend at the airport. I made a deal where we'd stop to watch at a point where we wouldn't have to wait too long since BigBoy was headed west. Chamois was the spot. (they pronounced it Chamoy, not Chamwah). In exchange we'd stop for BBQ in St. Louis. These are both of our videos.   |

Coal was a compromise choice. The point is to burn whatever fuel you have to make steam. The ATSF would never have crossed the desert if they could not have had oil-burning steamers.Are steamers fired with straw and sugar cane also not "real" steamers? How about steam cars that were all fired with (gasp) gasoline? |
