The point? This is the rail category. If you don't see the point, then you cannot appreciate the beauty of reciprocating motion and the engineering abilities it represents.
A steam engine is a living, breathing entity. So, you have to treat it right to get it to do work for you, as with any entity.
I believe these were filmed in Germany to commerate some sort of rail historical mile post (Mile post. Get it? It's the rail category.).

Great stuff. Took a look at the British stuff over Shap Fell too.
(probably not as steep or long as the Donner Pass, Hoghead, but possibly the best known in England.)
Take a look at this for articulated narrow gauge steam locos. Film was made in 1953 and is right in my old stamping ground. Caution - it's 17 minutes long.
