Do you have any idea how much pollution a steam locomotive puts out?

They are very much broken.

The U.S. has about 150 steam locomotives operating just doing tourist rides and stuff. Not even useful work.

Someone needs to make a fission powered steam locomotive, much less pollution, provided nothing goes wrong.
