Viewing Album:  CN 2-8-2 3254 - More Than Its Parts
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/10/2012 - 10/10/2012
Album Info:When a steam engine rolls by, different parts capture your eye. That's what happened while I was watching Canadian National 2-8-2 Mikado #3254 at the Steamtown Museum in Scranton, PA. You lose the larger view when you focus on only one part but at the same time, it can give you a greater understanding of the complexity.
