Steam Train Powered by Vegetable Oil; Video

Selected Songs: STEEL RAILS by Mike Headrick
POWERED BY STEAM by Chris Murphy (below video)


With the help of recycled vegetable oil, steam has drifted into the 21st century trailing behind the smoke stack of a locomotive. The Grand Canyon Railway is looking forward to having an eco-friendly railway. On Sept. 17th in 1901, trains began traveling to the Grand Canyon and the railway continued to operate until 1968. There has been much research for the last twenty years and throughout the world to put into motion the plans for future steam powered locomotives. Below the video is a link to a website with many links for modern steam locomotive developments. This video has some nice footage of trains and scenery, as well as being informative. To view this video in full screen click on the four arrows next to the volume.
