No music, no dialog, but don't be surprised if you watch the whole thing. (12:08) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_844

Wow. Five votes? That's way more than I expected. I guess there is something compelling about this. The view of it streaking along outside the car window really amazed me.

Steam trains get a big USU outta this guy!

(USU: upvote, sight unseen)

steam pr0n ftw

Ah, that's it! Must be this whole neovictorian steampunk thing. I honestly expected this to be a flop.

Nah, there's enough of us who've played Railroad Tycoon

you were right. I did watch the whole thing, which got me thinking "I know F All about how trains actually work." So off to wikipedia and howstuffworks I went. I mean seriously, it's only after 4am here. Who needs sleep? lol.
