As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520.
Last year I took a steam train. It’s a real 100 year old steam train running all summer on a 20km track, as a tourist attraction. Goes through nice landscapes, pretty cool experience in general.
But, yeah, on the return trip we chose the car closest to the engine. The smoke is definitely something.
If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.
There’s one in Bournemouth that runs to Corfe Castle? I forget the route, but it was fun. Super torquey. They used the same one in the Dunkirk movie
The one I got on is on the other side of the Channel :)
In northern Britanny specifically.

That reminded me of riding the Skunk Train when I was a kid over 40 years ago. I looked it up and it’s nice to see it’s still in service!
