Wow. That was an event just to see- my computer was practically
shuddering as she swept past. Nice view of that lovely stone
aqueduct. I wonder how long THAT has been there. Is that an
excursion train, really? If so, they certainly had no qualms about
firing this antique thing up to its limit, did they (or running out of
water)?
