Thomas was busy

I was about to jump on a train today to go grocery shopping when I heard a guy behind me ask the station attendant "When is the steam train going to get here?" "12:45" she replied. "Steam train?" thought I, as I hadn't heard of one coming in. I did my shopping, got home and did some investigating. Yes indeed, a steam train! Arriving in an hour! So I headed over to the station to catch a glimpse. This was the train sitting idling in a siding as the actual station was occupied by a standard train.

Got a nasty sunburn waiting around in the sun for it to leave. :(
