is really the by-product of a poorly-running engine... when things are
burning properly and cleanly, you barely see anything coming out of the
stack.  They just pump extra steam into the smokebox so you get a heavy,
opaque mixture of steam, exhaust and ash that looks pretty for photos, but
is terribly inefficient.




You mean like these?

The first one was 15 degrees below zero (F), which does wonders to steam
engines - not so much to teh photographer.
