[SEL] Check out Working Cog Railway Steam Locomotive - eBay (item110442499633 end

[Rick Rowlands]

They continue to run one steam trip per day, but its at 9 am so unless you 
stay at a hotel in the area the night before you'll miss the train.  The cog 
railway is a tourist attraction, and as such the steam locomotives are an 
integral part of the attraction.  Their management has been bitten by the 
green disease, and I think they would like to wholesale dump steam and 
everything it represents just as the Grand Canyon Railway has done.  Its not 
just maintenance, its a "religious" thing to them.

How much of our industrial history must be sacraficed before this green fad 
ends?

Rick
