There was a JP train autist arrested in russia on espionage a few years ago. The russians were like "why are you doing recon on our critical infrastructure" presumably followed by a 3 hour lecture on the specific reasons why that train in particular was incredible,
Also, steam stuff isn't particularly hard to run, it's just not as easy as modern trains. If you live in a rural area there's probably events where old farmers bring out steam powered tractors to show off. Imagine a steam train that can go off road and isn't bound by health and safety rules, Not to mention the stationary engines and mini steam engine people....
>I'm maybe halfway one of those people...
Also...a return to steam powered cars is probably a better move than electric. The tech is bettter than it used to be, and they would run on anything that catches fire or gets sufficiently hot, you could literally burn garbage if you wanted.

you're probably right, it reminds me of that beer company helping women brewers by donating like 5lbs of hops to them or something.
