Meaning

A steam locomotive. It stands for trains, railways and the age of steam — an object that is now almost entirely preserved rather than used, kept running by volunteers on heritage lines. It appears in rail and nostalgia contexts, and it carries an enormous amount of affection for a machine that is loud, filthy and gloriously impractical. Few obsolete technologies are so thoroughly loved.
