Powered up steam engines and tools/equipment.
Did not know they used steam for winching, plowing equipment.
For me, a fast 8:13 video.

Amazing! Stream was king back then. If corporations had control over all the water in those days, they would have resisted the switch to petroleum, and we'd still be using steam. : )

Those engines and tools are fascinating! I would have loved to see them in person.

This was great, thanks for finding it. I really liked the plow operated through a cable and winch off two engines.
