Soon smoke on the horizon and a distant whistle announced the returning train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took up a lineside position and focused both my film and digital cameras in anticipation of the locomotive coming into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was exciting to see old number 16 up close and under steam. I had seen this locomotive back in the 1990s. In those days it resided in the gloom of the roundhouse at Rockhill Furnace where it had been for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now this old Baldwin narrow gauge 2-8-2  has steam in its belly again and was performing as the star of the show.
