One of my memories from long ago was accompanying a buddy's dad to a meeting of the armature radio club. They were all building their own rigs for short wave radio, which has nothing to do with the subject of this thread, BUT....
Their meeting was a functioning rail road yard. When we parked it was almost sundown, and a steam locomotive was just going through shutdown. It was belching and moaning and and making all sorts of strange sounds. It was dark enough I could not really see details, but it was almost alive with the noises it made. I could not tell if a human was in there doing anything our if it was just the normal shut down procedure. It was really cool.
