I would very much welcome contributions from other readers about their travels for steam in the 'good old days', they can be text accounts, picture essays or a combination as available. Please email me first before sending any images to ensure that I am in a position to download them. However, as a rule of thumb, any image which has a file size in excess of 500kb should be resized, I can advise on how to do this if necessary.
