Steaming Along

Yes it's a traction engine!
And the wheels make great shadows!
This is another shot from Heritage Park...that outdoor museum in the south of Calgary. One of the neat things about this museum is that they often have working vehicles of various kinds operating. The building in the background is the station...where the steam train pulls in and just below the station is the working paddle steamer in which you can take a short trip on the Glenmore Reservoir.

  2. Looks like those we have around here. We call them steam engines and all of them here have roofs. I have never seen one without a roof.
