Caption: "Sometimes a little leakage of steam can turn into a big thing, and a locomotive will go sleep walking, and then it may punch out a roundhouse wall or move far enough to split a switch and foul a mainline. If you are really unlucky, it might even fall into a turntable pit. For the men of the Auburn roundhouse its gonna be a long day. " |
