Because It's Friday

Steam in the London Underground.


The Metropolitan and District railways were both underground steam railways from the early 1860s until they were electrified just prior to the Great War. The Metropolitan Railway had a station on Baker Street, across the street and only a few steps from Sherlock Holmes's digs.

(Note that the electric locomotive at the other end of the train's doing a lot of the work in the tunnels.)
