Wow! I say that despite trying to avoid such exclamations. The limited but directional soft light from the windows, allows the vintage locomotive to be seen as a magnificent, treasured, formerly unstoppable engine!
You have used that limited light so well in your shots.
I hope you have more of the engines wheels and driving links that turn them and the workings of the cabin and engine.
Our friend Doug Kerr would especially like that as that is one of his engineering interests!

We have come a long way since the first industrial revolution and now embarking on the industrial 4.0 revolution.

In 2017, Carla and I visited northern New Mexico. A high spot was a day trip on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway, which ruins between Chama, New Mexico and Antonito, Colorado. It is a narrow-gauge (3 foot gauge) line, wholly powered by steam locomotives.
Here:
we see Carla boarding at Chama.
This:
is a peek into the locomotive cab. We see the train air brake controller (just left of the window) and the straight air brake controller for the locomotive brakes alone (to its left). The throttle handle is just above the latter.
Just below the window we see the locking quadrant for the reverser lever ("Johnson bar"), itself not just barely visible to the left of the window.
Here:
we see out trusty steed, C&TSRR 489, as we round a curve.
Best regards,
Doug
