Steampunk Wallpaper

Title: Steam Train Gears
Description: That was its original title.  A close-up shot of some Walschaerts valve gear on a steam locomotive.  Valve gear is (fittingly enough) what drives the valves, to offset the valve movement from that of the piston, and controls whether the engine runs forward or backward.
