Photographs taken way back in 2013 by then 9 year old me at the Beijing Railway Museum of a China Railway KD7 class steamer. Sadly I don’t have a photograph of the front as it was parked between two other classes.

The KD7 class were the only American-built steam locomotives to ever operate in the People’s Republic of China.

^LOL

Colorized myself.

A steamer with wheel wells. Now I have seen everything and my life is complete Charles! [:|]

And it really makes me wonder how you could see where you were going driving that thing[:|] Maybe you don’t need to see where you’re going. It isn’t like you need a steering wheel to navigate the curves in the track. And those things can’t stop anyway so I guess whoever’s in front of it better get out of the way[(-D]

That other steamer was quite funny DSchmitt. Especially after the oysters were done Overmod[:P][(-D][(-D][(-D]

But those are not oysters, they’re clams… steamer clams… [:-^]

There’s a variety of the following out there, but for raw visceral impact combined with railfan excitement…
