TY to David Weston for posting this video to Instagram and explaining, "Did you know that when a steam engine has light grey or 'clear' smoke that means the fireman is keeping a very clean burning fire? The goal of every fireman is to make sure the fire is clean! That means it's burning hot and efficient. Here we have Tracy and @twinkyllamastwo handling 488 through Cresco, Colorado on the Cumbres & Toltec." | Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad | Facebook
