Yes, especially the scenes with Ladd Russo and the Rail Tracer. Baccano! is not a "steampunk" show either, at least as I understand the term. (Last Exile and Howl's Moving Castle seem paradigmatic of the genre to me.) Surprisingly, the only recent show I can think of with some steampunk stylistic features is AKB0048, some episodes of which are set on a planet that looks like an industrial wasteland. The recent Lupin III/Mine Fujiko series might also fit.

If you're looking for a nice show with a 19th century setting, I'll recommend Ikoku Meiro no Croisee, about a Japanese girl who goes to Paris in the late 1800's. Allison to Lillia might also have some appeal.

Steampunk does not seem to be very popular these days.
