That banner reminded me of cold winter nights in the Hills of Wv. Steam engines were the power used to move many hundreds of tons of coal from the various mines. I loved the sound of the steam whistle on those trains. I did not like the wail of the one at the nearest mine as it was sounded when there was a cave in or accident. On snowy nights the drive wheels on those ole steam locomotives would slip and you could hear them for many miles. They would have to sand the rails in order to get enough traction to pull all those loaded coal cars up the mountain. Yep that banner brought back memories from many many years ago.
