NKP 765-POP!
Title:  NKP 765-POP!
Description:  Look closely and you can see the plume of steam shooting a long ways into the sky after the safety valve popped. The steam plume is between the cab and the large box or "dome" on the top. Sorry, folks, the white steam just didn't show up very well against that hazy and humid July sky!
