Shown undergoing her break-in in May 2006, FCAF No. 5 was newly built in South Africa for a narrow gauge operation in Argentina.

You know, in some parts of the world steam makes more sense than diesel.  Oil is getting VERY expensive, and coal is cheap.  Using modern technology, could a practicle American steam locomotive hauling coal for NS or CSX be done?  Maybe use all sorts of automation so that it only takes one person to run the thing.

Paint eyes and a mouth on the front and it would look like a cousin to Thomas the Tank Engine.
