Two men servicing the historic steam locomotive amidst the forest shadows at Tilden Steam Trains.
Full Description:
On May 11, 2024, at the scenic Tilden Steam Trains and Merry-go-round in a lush forest setting, two individuals were captured meticulously maintaining a classic steam engine named OAK. The image highlights the intense focus and expertise required to keep such historical machinery in operation. Nestled under towering trees, the men, clad in practical attire and equipped with hats for sun protection, are seen using a metal can to oil or refuel a portion of the locomotive as steam softly escapes from the engine, suggesting the warmth of ongoing activity. The serene envelopment of vegetation and the dappled sunlight emphasize a time-honored scene, merging nature with the timeless charm of early transportation technology.
