The things you see….

Coming back home this afternoon and wondered why the traffic was so slow… I managed to get past and snapped this shot, as this really neat, noisy, well loved steam engine puttered by. For my efforts, the drivers gave a big wave and tooted their steam horn.
How totally amazing!!!

I imagine that toot was quite different from a car's tooting! Amazing machine - so much weight!

That is a beautifully restored traction engine. I really like the blur of the fly wheel and hint of smoke :)

Is an amazing engine, it is so loud as well, great to be able to stop and get a shot.

don't you just love these opportunities, great shot. The chap in the background seems to be photographing it too.

what a great site. Bet the drivers weren't impressed especially on a 100k roadway.

It's great to see these old traction engines still in working order - I notice that you weren't the only one with a camera out.
