Thursday Night Steam

Most of California Southern's club members model post-war & modern day diesel operations. This can make for some strange & unprototypical meets if there is an older steam powered train on the mainline, unless it's one of the very few left today. This lead to the unofficial creation of Thursday Night Steam, a night dedicated to the power & beauty of railroading from yesteryear, back when steam was king!
