@@RailroadStreet dumb question. Does that rolling ingot design have any real advantages .. Besides less wind resistance.. I bet it'd do favorable in a wind tunnel test ...and I'd think maybe it's more durable... and it's flat sides more easily armored perhaps for millitary usage .. because maybe tomorrow's engine should resemble that one ?

Fwiw, I worked at Homestead Works. It featured two gauges, standard size and narrow gauge. The narrow gauge was used in the Structural mill and the Open Hearth #4 area. Standard gauge was used in the structural mill and everywhere else. The 160" mill slab yard dinky is on display in the Waterfront. A narrow gauge ingot car is on display at the south end of the Homestead Grays Bridge.

The Hot Metal Bridge that these engines travelled over Mon pulling torpedo cars is still in use. We were told that if one of the torpedo cars full of molten steel were to fall into the river, the resulting explosion would have been unbelievably devastating.

Rock,mI have been enjoying steam videos for a decade, but that has got to be the most easygoing, concise and light explanation of all the main aspects of a steam engine!

The crew was a great gang of guys who were eager for us to have a positive experience, very patient with us, and happy to teach us their skills. They had fun watching us have fun. It was a very special day. Highly recommend it. Thanks, Rick!

It was closed in the 1980's and all the jobs were outsourced to other countries, The Southside Works is complete gone, replaced by retail, office, entertainment, residential and riverfront parks. At this point, a visitor to Pittsburgh would have no idea it was at one time one of the most important manufacturing cities in the world.

This is a very interesting little engine. I don’t think there’s anything like it anywhere. It weighs the same as a 100-passenger airliner at max weight but it’s the size of a Ford Transit. Is the tender an original accessory, or did you build that to make it more convenient to keep her running on your railway?

Fantastic ! I really learned a lot, your explanation of how the steam engine worked answered all the questions that i had. Like how the smoke stack chugged faster when the pistons speeded up as the used exhaust steam was expelled up and pulled the smoke out with it. I thought this was a waste of residual steam that might have some recycle value? Couldn’t the smoke exhaust be pulled out with about 1/3 of the amount of steam?
