Our Traction Engine


STATIONARY & TRACTION

Steam powered stationary engines were the prime mover for all manufacturing throughout the world from the mid 1850's until well into the 1900's. Traction engines filled the need for a portable means of power for farms, sawmills, and other "mobile" processing. Donkey engines "crawled throughout the forests, skidding and lifting harvested trees. And I couldn't find any other topic for the steam calliope. So here are the listing topics: STEAM CALLIOPE, DONKEY ENGINES, STATIONARY and TRACTION.
