Obligatory

It's a thing. If you want to represent the arts in Minneapolis, you take a picture of this sculpture garden. Taken 5.31.14.

Another Lake

You wouldn't think it was in the middle of Minneapolis, would you? Taken 5.31.14.

Minnesota Mansion

At one point this was the biggest house in Minnesota. The guide sounded quite peeved about being surpassed! It was built by the railway tycoon James J Hill in 1891. Taken 5.31.14.

The Little Engine that Could?

The cutest loco in the whole place. St Louis Museum of Transportation. Taken 6.10.14.

Comparison

From the same spot as the Big Boy... very green? The King George V is a Great Western 'King' class loco, built in 1927. National Railway Museum in York. Taken 11.3.13.

Cab

The view from the cab-- much engine. Very wow. Taken 6.10.14.

Knobs

Inside the cab of a Big Boy. So many knobs! St Louis Museum of Transportation. Taken 6.10.14.
