A ring of flame envelopes a steam locomotive drive wheel as a tire is heated so it can be placed on the wheel.  

Did You Know?
Though made of steel, the tires on a steam locomotive wear out. A new tire is cut slightly too small and then it is heated until it expands. After workers slide it onto the wheel, the tire shrinks as it cools and is locked into place. Learn more about steam locomotive maintenance at Steamtown NHS.
