Yikes! Did you mean for your response to Jason's joke to sound so
venomous? I didn't think the discussion was intended to upset.
Also, for die-hard, steam fans, steam may have lost, but it's far from
dead, and who knows, it seems it could still make a comeback! Check it
out: Modern steam locomotive developments:

And if you want to ride a steam train in the US (Steam railways are
noted):
States A-M

States N-Z

Or see a steam train somewhere in the rest of the world (often still in
operation!):

How cool is that?
