    Cool pix - thanks for sharing! I've never seen steam locomotives run back-to-back like that before (although I admit to being primarily a diesel guy so what do I know? :) ) Is that how they're usually run on the excursion?

    Best Regards, -Mike

    Yes, the steam locos are coupled back-to-back due to consist turning at the end of journey.

    Does the reversed loco aid in pulling the train or is it just idling when being pulled in reverse?
