engine was followed by James Watt pressurized steam engine built in 1765, characterized by higher compactness and efficiency than its predecessor.

payed no attention because for some reason I thought the skytrain would go in a complete circle and head towards King George. We sat on the skytrain for the longest time ever and we realized that the skytrain was starting to head towards Commercial Drive again.
