This is right downtown Portland at Union Station.....I did see this go by me one day at a railroad crossing and it kind of blew my mind. You don't expect to see a massive steam locomotive to go by you while you're just out driving around - it was pretty impressive and they DO billow a ton of steam. It was moving along at a good clip though. If I get to live another lifetime I think I'll go work on a railroad.
If I was the person right behind the truck seeing this I think I'd have peed my pants sitting there.....
