Photos | Steam Power in the Forest

Meticulous maintenance: A seasoned engineer oils the gears of the 'Oak' steam engine amidst the towering trees.
Full Description:
Captured on May 11, 2024, this evocative photograph showcases the delicate interplay between man and machine in a serene forest setting. The image features a diligent engineer, outfitted in a practical cap and long-sleeve shirt, meticulously tending to a vintage steam locomotive named Oak. He appears to be lubricating or adjusting parts near the locomotive's wheel assembly, surrounded by wisps of steam that emphasize the age and historic charm of the train. The presence of lush green trees and dappled sunlight filtering through the forest canopy adds a natural and almost mystical quality to the scene, highlighting the juxtaposition between the rugged, utilitarian machine and its peaceful, natural surroundings. This image is part of the Tilden Steam Trains and Merry-go-round album, documenting the enduring legacy of railway culture amidst the beauty of Tilden Regional Park.
