For those interested in a fairly in-depth explanation of the workings of a steam locomotive's valve system.  This video is nearly 40 minutes long and covers the topic well and explains some things like cutoff and how it makes a difference and more.  The graphics is decent and the narration is good.  It was done by a member of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Historical Society.
