Here's a thing.

Ask any child what noise a train makes and they'll probably say "chugga chugga choo choo."

Funny thing is that pretty much no one alive today was around in the days when trains - powered by steam - made that sound.

The stories we're told are powerful, often even more powerful than the evidence of our senses. We think trains sound like that cos we're told they sound like that.

Stories are powerful; be careful with the stories you tell.

We should take those kids, young and old, to see this, the UP Big Boy 4014 tour schedule:

@maven @davidnjoku love Big Boy locos but what is amazing is they are neither the largest or most powerful steam locos in the USA.
