(Battle of Hastings! Nah!)
Transportation in a 1000 years will look back on Steam with modern Carbon break elements that suppress vast temperatures to give boiler and super heating pipework inspections a life of a hundred years or more! Steam was the beginning of passenger movement! It followed the horse! Steam will be the start of our desire to go off somewhere different! Ones life spent in one place? I spose the canal might hustle in there somewhere? But the history of steam will fascinate them in a 1000 years! Mark my words! Oops you cant? You’ve been long dead for 900 years or so? Preservation will see to that! What chance history? Einstein said if we never made a mistake then we never attempted anything new? How true! When the world goes to war over the last drop of oil? Then we sit quietly above hundreds of years of fossil Coal fields! We keep our curious Heritage steam pastimes while others stamp about on the planet Mars or Europa! ‘Back to the future’ wont be a Delorian car? It will be a Black 5?
