Puffing Billy - Steam Engine Train

I always wanted to know how it felt to travel on a steam engine train. Well... I was in Victoria I got the opportunity to go on one =D. It was quite an experience... hehe... It is very noisy and sooty but very cool. This old train is called 'Puffing Billy' and it works on coal. It's a very sweet train - like Thomas the train! :)

At one point during the journey we went up a relatively steep hill. The noise made by the train, chuff chuff, chuff chuff, had a particular pace that you could imagine it saying: I think I can, I think I can... hehe... It must have been quite a revolution for people used to travelling by cart or foot.
