The Pope's Steam Loco

This was a segment on the CBS Evening News on Sunday 9/13 (you can go to the CBS website). Pretty interesting, the Vatican has its own RR equipment and short piece of track linking it to the Italian RR system. The train is going to be hauling tourists between the Vatican and the Pope's summer castle about 20 miles away. For the first run they used a 100YO steam loco in perfect condition. The coaches were all pre-war, too.
