Puffing Billy steam engine driver Steve Holmes empties a wheelbarrow of ash removed from the smokebox of locomotive 6A as he prepares to retire the engine for the night in its shed at Belgrave station near Melbourne, October 17, 2014. While the discovery of steam power 200 years ago powered the Industrial Revolution, the world long ago shunted most steam trains onto the sidings of history. But in one small corner of rural Australia, the sights, sounds and smells of the Industrial Revolution remain very much alive. In the picturesque Dandenong Ranges on the eastern outskirts of Melbourne, Puffing Billy is Australia's last steam engine railway. REUTERS/Jason Reed (AUSTRALIA - Tags: SOCIETY TRANSPORT)
