Weekend Steam

Here is another interesting photo from an old Iron-Men Album. (Click on the photo to enlarge.) Read the caption and you will note that men have been collecting steam engines for a long time. These engines weren't for play, though. I bet they all did their share of threshing and silo filling, and since this was in Wisconsin, they probably were used to sterilize dairy equipment. Maybe they even threshed barley for the breweries in the dairy state. It looks like the first one in the lineup is fired up.

This is from the May-June issue of 1964.
