What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

I was away from things for the past few days, so here is Tuesday's interesting fact.

Today’s interesting fact has to do with steam trains.

Apparently, since the creation of the railroads in the UK, there has not been a single year, where there has not been a steam traction engine on the UK main lines.

They may have replaced them for the most part in the UK with electric and diesel, but there still are steam trains in use in the UK.
