no problem, i've always like trains, my grandparents live on a hill by railroad tracks, and when i was young, everytime i heard a whisle, i'd go out to the front yard ad sit on my rock (lol,
) and watch the train go by, sometimes i wish i was born back in the day when steam was king i think steam trains are one of the best things the world has ever had, but yeah, the daylight is the most beautiful steam loco i've ever seen, and i've seen alot of them (sorry for the long comment, i'm in a long typing mood, lol

yeah, i heard a few months ago that the governmnt was thinking about bring steam back into service becuase of gas prices, i doubted it, but i was hopeful, obviously it didnt happen, but still, it would be nice had it happened, oh well, at least they still have steam around, i just wish i could see 4449 in person, i've only seen it in pictures and videos, but theres something about it that makes it best steam engine in the world, (along with the big boy and challenger )

last i checked it was somewhere on the east coast eventhough it only ran from los angeles to seattle, (at least i tink thats what its route was, i cant remember) but yeah, where i live, if you see a train, you'd be lucky, i've only seen 2 trains in my life by my town, we have railroad tracks, and they used to be a mainline, but repeated washouts of the line resulted in another line being built around where the floods happened, so the tracks are somewhat abandond, but one day when i was on the bus going home from school, we stopped at the railroad crossing by our school that we normally pgo over, becuase there were a few guys with flairs on the road and they were clearing the rails of dirt on the sides of the rails (yeah, its been a long time ) and then they had a sort of frieght train with just flatbed cars, about 50 of them, everyone on the bus was getting irritated, but i was just watching it go by, becuase i had looked up the railroads info and such, so then i start talking about it to my friends, they were suprised that it had been over 100 years since the last train had officially been on those tracks, it may have only been 30 years since being used for a purpose such as getting materials and such, but still, it was pretty cool

well, I live 50 miles away from any railroads...so I hardley ever get to see trains. But thats cool to see a train on a line that hasn't been used in a long time

well who has a picture of an awsome train? you or me? lol, i dont hink they do to many steam exibitions any more by where i live, and the damn thing ran in these parts for almost it whole time in service, makes no sence to me that i've never seen it in person, oh well, better to see it on video or in pictures than not to see a beautiful train like this at all right?
