I tried to fight the urge to go see the steam locomotive, but the smell of coal smoke from 60 miles away was too much. Drove in the rain. It stopped when I got to Atlantic Iowa. Here are some pictures from the day and the sound of the whistle in case you haven't heard the new one

Nice shots Tom, thanks for sharing.
Great Photos As Always Tom! Can't beat a good day of steam!

Isn't it amazing how far the smell of that coal smoke carries.
Good photos.
That whistle is so cool! I was born in the wrong time.
