Historic Note: 16 Header Steam Train - Wolsztyn, Poland in 2008

When I was young, a double header or even a triple header steam excursion was an incredible sight to behold. In Poland, they continue to use steam engines in commuter service. In fact, they offer mere mortals like ourselves the opportunity to buy rides on the steam engine while it is hauling passengers. Michael Guy experienced this personally several years ago. Click below to watch a 16-header go by in Wolsztyn, Poland apparently as a grand finale to a steam festival of some kind in 2008. Like a rare eclipse, one is not likely to see this very often in a lifetime.
