I've been working on the railroad ....

.... except I am pretty sure I wasn't supposed to be there. 

This lot of locomotives were sitting in the goods yard in the snow and cold air, attached to a few freight cars*. No drivers in sight, but these monsters were rumbling and hissing as they waited. A quick googling reveals each locomotive produces 3000 hp and weighs 184 tons.  That puts my Hornby Flying Scotsman in its place.

*Rail way/road terminology between British and American seems to be all over the place. The extra is one of the bogies which are also referred to as trucks and an example of pareidolia. No idea what the brakestick is for, or if it is missing.
