How cool is that! Many folks will be happy to see it going past. Yes, well done to all the people, enthusiasts, mechanics right down to people that made cups of tea and gave moral support to make this possible.  I'm really impressed.

 

It should be noted too that in some Asian countries, steam locomotives, possibly European have never completely gone away and a few are still in use for industry.

 

But well done for Australia and what a beautiful machine it is!
