Grew up on the west coast, long after steam was gone and long, long after coal was popular for heating but got a taste for it from the Redwood Valley Railway in the Oakland hills. The engineer actually invited my brothers and I up onto the tender to fire the little 2-4-2 for a run, we were in the clouds for days...

Here in Idaho we had a coal dealer in town, shut down maybe 10 years ago, everything is still there, gotta go over and take pictures and measurements before someone decides to clean the place up!
