10 breathtaking steam locomotives – Old memories

When was the last time I traveled by a steam-powered train? Well, it was in 1992 that I took very short trip on a Lalgudi-Tiruchirapalli passenger. I still cannot forget those days when I used to drool at the steam engine, appearing like a heavily armored knight, rumbling, puffing thick black smoke, whistling at those cute young village girls crossing the tracks.

There are a lot of good looking Diesel and Electric locomotives today, but none of them are as muscular and beautiful as the steam engines. You get an emotional attachment when you look at a steam engine, while you get none no matter how long you stare at Diesel and Electric locomotives. And, trust me, steam locos have an attitude – they can vent out steam and smoke in all directions to show their anger and power. LOL!

Wanna revisit your old memories of steam engines? Scroll down. Some of them are guy-ish, and some are girlish. You may get bi-curious in this case. I miss them a lot. Let me know when get into a pensive mood on seeing these black bestial beauties.
