It is a massive piece of railroad history.

Thanks. I remember as a boy there was a bridge across a river near us. My brother and I used to go there when a train was crossing and sometimes the engineer would release some steam down onto us. Also can remember the troop trains as they went past during the war. Then all of a sudden the steam engines were gone and everything was diesel.

You're right, it seems like they were gone almost like overnight.
