So rare to see a Steamer, complete with gear and horse-team; out on the road - as it would have appeared, during its service period.

The Driver [drove the team] and the Engineer [raised steam in the boiler enroute, and ran the pump on-scene] were 2 different people in those days.

Thanks for capturing this great opportunity for us. Regards, from Canada, Pat_R-B
