I took this photo at the New England Wireless and Steam Museum's annual Yankee Steam-Up, which is going on less than a week after I'm writing this (September 30, 2006: http://users.ids.net/%7enewsm/dates.html).

Um - that bike appeared in an article about the annual Yankee Steam-Up in the _paper_ version of Make: a couple of issues ago.

Here's a clean link ( The trailing ")." broke the link in the previous post.)
