A normal commute in, until I heard a nearby 'chufchufchuf...' as I was approaching a railway line I bike under, and thought that diesels sounded a lot like steam trains these days. Just as I got there a stream locomotive went past over the bridge, it was pulling an excursion train and working hard to get up the hill. It was quite a sight - I have mixed feeling about steam power, a steam engine pollutes an awful lot, still it made my Monday.
