Strong winds downed a tree onto the historic steam locomotive "La Copiapó", that was the first railway locomotive in Chile.

only out of the water during droughts, what's left of a wrecked locomotive at the bottom of a canyon, miles from any road, where a logging company had a trestle across Wynoochee River Canyon, and they destroyed this steam engine to use as a scene in the movie Ring Of Fire

this is a one man operation, a fulfillment of a childhood obsession with cool trains

The Mt Washington cog railway! 

The smallest armored train ever built, shot down 3 German aircraft during World War 2. A 1/3rd scale steam locomotive clad in boiler plate, armed with WWI-era Lewis guns and anti-tank rifles, crewed by 7 soldiers, was conceived and built in the 1920s by millionaire racing car drivers

originally conceived and built in the 1920s by millionaire racing car drivers Captain Jack Howey and Count Louis Zborowski

Count Louis Zborowski had constructed a railway at Higham Park, his home at Bridge, Kent, and agreed to donate the rolling stock and infrastructure to the project. However, he was killed in a motor racing accident at the Monza Grand Prix on 19 October 1924 before the Romney Marsh site was chosen, and Howey continued the project alone.

This miniature train is officially credited with shooting down three German aircraft during the Battle of Britain. Its claims include:

 One Messerschmitt Bf 109 (The Luftwaffe's premier fighter)

One Heinkel He 111 (Bomber) 

One Dornier Do 17 (Bomber)

How to avoid the Chicago railyards... put the trains on ferrys and take them across the lake, and the SS Badger is the last of the coal fired steam engine powered ships that were built to do that, which makes it part of US Highway 10, and M-90, and a National Historic Landmark (thank you Brad!)

The trains hauled cargo, like Wisconsin dairy, beer, and meat, (Remember, Green Bay Packers were named for the meat packers!) lumber, paper, tractors and Nash cars across the lake, and in the other direction, Michigan produce, chemicals, salt, car parts, and vehicles
