John Strano of Essex prepares to make tracks in a 2-8-2 Mikado engine restored to resemble a New Haven locomotive. Those with a passion for coal burning steam locomotives (and $500) can take part in the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat Your Hand on the Throttle program, which puts the public at the controls of a steam locomotive. Call the museum at 860-767-0103 for details and registration.
