Refueling a steam locomotive. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indiana USA. June 1991.

This has always been one of My favorite behind the scenes railfan photographs. I took this candid photo of the museum's 1940 vintage 0-4-0T meter guage industrial steam locomotive from Czechloslovakia, being loaded with fresh coal. The crewmember on top of the locomotive, is in the process of carefully shoveling the coal into the foreward bunker ahead of the locomotive cab.
