That is neat to see a system that is still actually working as designed.

 

The building that I work in was powered by a central steam engine back when they made carriages for the civil war. Yes this building is that old. There are still a few very scattered remnants of the pulleys and shafts for the power transmission system hanging from the ceiling. The old coal fired boiler is still here but no longer used for anything. The steam engines are long gone. When electricity was invented, they hooked a generator up to that old steam engine and this was then the power plant for about a 3 block radius around the plant, There was no other source of electricity available.

 

There is a lot of interesting history in this old building.
