| Fact | Pufferbillys are not imaginary creatures from a Saturday morning cartoon, they are actually what Iowans in Boone call the small steam trains used in Australian coal mines. Boone is major railroad town and as such, it shows its love for all things steam with its annual Pufferbilly Days Festival. |
