This is the company I work for
www.strasburgrailroad.com I work as the company electrician. Which involves anything on the property that uses electrons to work. From the 480 that we run the machines on to the computer network to the phone system to the steam driven generators on the locomotives. I wind up knowing a little bit about a lot of things. I joined this site for some help on wiring up the light posts in our station to make sure that I did it right and to code. I haven't taken any code classes so I wind up trying to decipher the book by myself and with the capable help from here, and a few friends in the electrical biz. I have fussed on this site a few times about why the code needs to be written in "philadelphia lawyer" and that's why.
I still need to get some promised pictures.

Edit to answer the original question
Yup, that's a little steam engine. runs on anthracite coal, like you heat the house with. The big engines run on bituminus, or soft coal.
